ODFW Fish Screening Task Force to meet in Salem
 
SALEM - Oregon's Fish Screening Task Force will meet February 17, 2006
at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Headquarters in
Salem.
 
The meeting is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Fish and
Wildlife Commission room at ODFW, 3406 Cherry Avenue NE, Salem, OR
97303. The agenda includes general overviews of state fish screening
programs, program funding status, and an update on statewide projects.
 
Fish screens prevent the loss of young fish when water is used for
irrigation, municipal, hydroelectric or other beneficial purposes. They
are an essential part of any system that diverts water from a public
water body. 
 
The seven members of the Fish Screening Task Force are appointed by the
Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. The membership represents
agricultural, fisheries and public interests. They meet several times
each year to advise the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife on fish
screening policies and issues.
 
The meeting is open to the public. Reasonable accommodations are
provided as needed for individuals requesting assistive hearing devices,
sign language interpreters or large-print materials. Individuals needing
these types of accommodations may call the Information and Education
Division at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6002, at least 24 hours before the
meeting. For more information, call Bernie Kepshire, State Fish
Screening Coordinator, at 503.947.6229.
