The Idaho Governor’s Salmon Work group hosts a public meeting in Lewiston next week.
The panel meets Friday, September 20th, at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game Regional Office on 16th Street, with a focus on fish hatcheries in Idaho, hydropower operations along the Lower Snake and Columbia Rivers, and collaborative efforts to meet salmon and steelhead restoration goals. The meeting runs from from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, and the public is invited to provide comments.
Governor Little directed his Office of Species Conservation to establish a work group dedicated to addressing salmon issues. The work group held meetings this summer in Boise and Salmon, bringing together diverse stakeholders to collaboratively develop a unified policy recommendation to assist Little as he shapes Idaho’s policy on salmon recovery.
Meetings are scheduled for Twin Falls in October and Boise again in November, with additional meetings in 2020. (Idaho Gov. Brad Little)
