SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will meet Friday, March 20 at ODFW Headquarters, 3406 Cherry Ave. NE, Salem. The meeting begins at 8 a.m. and proceeds through this agenda.
The Commission will be briefed on options for sport and commercial ocean salmon seasons. Forecasters predict a large run of coho salmon this year, and the options available are all a substantial improvement in fishing opportunities over last year.
The final decision on ocean salmon seasons will be made at an April 4-9 San Francisco meeting of the Pacific Fishery Management Council, which is responsible for setting fishing seasons off the coasts of Oregon, Washington and California.
Other Commission business includes considering funding for several Restoration and Enhancement (R&E) and Access and Habitat (A&H) Program project requests. The R&E board will ask the Commission to review and approve 11 projects totaling $131,042 to improve or enhance fishing opportunities. The A&H Board is requesting a total of $95,238 to fund eight projects that improve wildlife habitat and/or provide the public with hunting access to private land.
