Low Salmon Runs

Coos Bay Local Fisherman Sam Schwarz:
"Overall it seems like there are fewer and fewer fish"

"With Salmon coming in to the bay right now we have tons of recreational users putting boats in and in order for that to continue, I feel it's crucial that we protect the forest waters coming out of the west fork of the Millicoma and the tributaries to the Coos so that the Salmon continue to come back every year so that folks can continue to harvest for recreational and for commercial catch."

We Can Have Wood Products AND Healthy Forests

Woodworker Doug Pollock believes we can harvest wood products and have healthy forests.

He says:

Taking care of our forest waters, and working with wood go hand in hand.

80% of our water supplies come from forests, and Oregon Forest Practices Act is so far behind our neighbors. The laws definitely need to change to provide better protections for the water that we all depend on. We can do better by our forests, and have clean water, and have wood products that we use and enjoy.
