A mature humpback whale breached and spouted off Klipsan Beach in Washington state on July 22. The whale and the
seabirds clustered all around would have been feeding on small bait fish schooling just beyond the breakers. Hump-
backs ranging up to 60 feet long have been a welcome sight in the waters of Pacific and Clatsop counties this summer.

The Buoy 10 summer coho
and Chinook salmon ishery
at the mouth of the Columbia
River opens Monday.
Thousands of anglers will
descend on the region over the
next few weeks, with a return
of nearly one million fall Chi-
nook salmon predicted.
This year, the state Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife low-
ered the steelhead bag limit to
one per day from the mouth
of the Columbia to Pasco,
Washington, to help protect
the endangered species des-
tined for the Snake River.
This restriction will be in
effect Monday through Dec.
31 from Buoy 10 to the Bon-
neville Dam; Sept. 1 through
Dec. 31 from Bonneville Dam
to McNary Dam; and Nov. 1
through Dec. 31 from McNary
Dam to the Highway 395
Bridge in Pasco.
The state also changed reg-
ulations regarding retention of
hatchery Chinook on mark-se-
lective ishing days down-
stream of Bonneville Dam.
Fish caught on those days may
have a clipped adipose or a
left-ventral in, but must have
a healed scar at the location of
the clipped in.
Open dates, bag limits and
other regulations for Colum-
bia River salmon seasons
vary by location on the river
and can be found on the state

Bonamici to hold
town hall in Seaside
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — U.S. Rep.
Suzanne Bonamici is hold-
ing a town hall meeting from
6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Clatsop
Community College’s South
County Campus, Rooms 2 and
3, 1455 N. Roosevelt Drive.
She will provide an update
on her work in Congress and
take questions from residents.
“It’s important to hear directly
from
my
constituents,”
Bonamici said in a statement.
“Town hall meetings provide
a great opportunity to discuss
issues facing the residents of
the diverse district I am hon-
ored to represent. Constitu-
ents always provide valuable
feedback and new ideas that
inform my work in Washing-
ton, D.C.”
Bonamici staff members
will be available to assist any-
one experiencing problems
with federal agencies.

By linking 3,500 acres
of conserved areas, Bone-
yard Ridge — which encom-
passes an entire watershed
— creates a habitat corri-
dor, connecting wildlife pop-
ulations separated by human
activities.
“The way we will manage
it, the trees will get bigger
and older and there will be
a greater diversity within the
forest understory,” Voelke
said.
After decades of commer-
cial logging, the property’s
current forest has trees from
10 to 60 years old, Voelke
said. The land conservancy
plans to take “stewardship
actions that lead to an old,
complex rainforest” where
native plants and animals can
thrive.
Boneyard Ridge is home
to 2 miles of salmon-bearing
streams, amphibians such as
red-legged frogs and Colum-
bia torrent salamanders, and
mammals that include black
bears and elk. About 90 bird
species — including pileated
woodpeckers, olive-sided
lycatchers, bald eagles and
rufous hummingbirds — live
or make a migration stopover
at Boneyard Ridge.
Wildlife species at Ecola
State Park, including black
bears and lying squirrels,
could use the Boneyard
Ridge habitat as well.
The purchase was funded
with a $524,000 grant
from the Oregon Water-
shed Enhancement Board,
$500,000 from an anony-
mous donor, and contribu-
tions from more than 120
additional donors.
North Coast Land Con-
servancy has worked to con-
serve Boneyard Ridge in
partnership with Lewis and
Clark Timberlands since
2011.
In March, North Coast
Land Conservancy signed a
purchase and sales agreement
with GreenWood Resources
and had raised $1.1 million.
Since then, they have
raised the last $200,000
needed to make the
purchase.
Voelke emphasized the
land’s accessibility — one
can see it driving on High-
way 101.
Within the next few years,
the land conservancy will
work to create a system of
trails.
“We’re really excited
about being able provide
trails and recreation so close
to town for residents,” Voelke
said. “We feel like this can be
a new, super special place for
people who call it home …
This is something we all get
to have now forever.”
