This $695,815 federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) supports the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's management of an extensive hatchery production system for anadromous and resident salmonids. The grant funds partially operate five hatcheries and partially support the state agency's fish health program, enabling the production and stocking of steelhead and trout species like rainbow, brook, brown, kokanee, tiger, and cutthroat trout. This helps sustain major recreational fisheries for salmon, steelhead, and trout in Oregon. The award also covers normal operations and maintenance at the Klamath Hatchery, separate from the other four hatcheries funded under this grant. Overall, the grant supports the state's efforts to conserve sport fish populations and provide public access to recreational fishing opportunities across Oregon.
