On August 16, CalTrout’s new North Coast Region Manager, Darren Mierau, was invited to attend the California’s Joint Legislative Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture’s hearing on the endangered coho salmon.
At the hearing, titled “COHO SALMON ON THE BRINK: Understanding the Depth of the Crisis and Recovery Strategies,” Darren highlighted the threats to coho salmon in the Shasta River and offered specific actions that can be taken to help.
As a result of the meeting, emergency legislative measures are being considered to aid in coho salmon recovery.
