White Salmon Watershed Council
Joining together to protect land, water, air, and habitat
Many voices are needed to keep the White Salmon watershed healty, clean and cold, from headwaters on Mt. Adams to the Columbia. Friends of the Whtie Salmon is forming a watershed council to give strength and unity to those voices.
Working together to protect the watershed
POINT
Since no hatchery fish have been introduced, the White Salmon River is a rarity and thus invaluable to our knowledge about resilience and health of anadromous fish in the Columbia River Basin.
POINT
Providing hatchery fish to a system can be expensive and problematic, so the extent to which fish can repopulate on their own is a very important experiment in the making. The Friends of the White Salmon River would like to see this natural colonization experiment continue for the foreseeable future.
Adequate funding for intensive fish surveys has not been available, but fishery biologists have indications that a substantial and at least partly successful recolonization has occurred.
Without intensive surveying, however, the magnitude, breadth and success of the recolonization is unknown. This has made it impossible to assess whether the level of anadromous fish production reflects habitat capacity or meeting societal (or management) expectations.
