Keith Roe, wast to be the July 16th Dinner Meeting Speaker  but had to cancel out at the last minute.

Our new Dinner Speaker is Kurt Beardslee who will talk about  a science-based solution that could promote wild salmon recovery and provide adequate food for Southern Resident killer whales? And what if that same solution could strengthen coastal communities by offering local fishermen increased opportunity to fish that would greatly help wild salmon recovery?   In this talk, Kurt will describe Wild Fish Conservancy’s newest campaign ‘What If’ and the fundamental role selective fishing gears can play in the recovery of imperiled wild salmon and Southern Resident killer whales. The survival fish trap research was just published  in the American Fisheries Societies’ publication Fisheries and accessed by clicking on the following link:
