CMP Failures
NFS' Oregon Coordinators Kirk Blaine and Liz Perkin covered some of the failures of the CMP, including Steelhead populations that have come in below critical abundance thresholds with no change in management, poor control of hatchery spawners, and a failure to account for climate change. Conservation Director Jennifer Fairbrother then provided advice on how to testify before the Commission.
