Corps seeks comment on
Hammond Marina dredging
The Daily Astorian
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers is seeking com-
ment on Warrenton’s pro-
posal to dredge the Ham-
mond Marina.
The city wants to dredge
more than 70,000 cubic
yards of sediment from
more than 10 acres to bring
the marina’s depth to 8 feet
during an average low tide,
and 10 feet at the entrance.
The sediment would be
dredged through a pipeline
and disposed in the Colum-
bia River’s main channel
nearby.
Comments are due by
March 31. They can be sent
by email to Brad.A.John-
son2@usace.army.mil or
by mail to U.S. Army Corps

Three Astoria residents rescued
after getting stuck in the snow
The Daily Astorian
Three brothers from
Astoria were rescued over
the weekend after get-
ting their vehicles stuck in
the snow in a forest near
Clatskanie.
Around 9:30 p.m. on
Saturday, the Clatsop
County Sheriff’s Offi ce
received a report from the
International Emergency
Response Coordination
Center that a distress sig-
nal was coming from a
GPS device in a vehicle
near Fishhawk and Greasy
Spoon r oads.
The sheriff’s offi ce was
unable to reach the owner
of the vehicle, but learned
from the owner’s mother
that three of her sons had
gone for a drive in the
woods and were not pre-
pared to spend the night.
A deputy attempted to
get to the area but was
unable to continue due to
the ice and snow. The sher-
iff’s offi ce then requested
the assistance of Moun-
tain Wave Search and
Rescue, which responded
with specialized lifted
vehicles.
The team located the
brothers with their Ford
truck, which had slid off
into a ditch and become
stuck on the side of the
road in the snow.
The boys were thank-
ful for the assistance and
were able to return home,
according to the sheriff’s
offi ce.

Volunteers cleaned up trolley tracks on the Astoria riverfront Saturday morning, work they
must do every winter to prepare the tracks for spring and summer. A portion of the tracks
is closed downtown for waterfront bridge replacement work. The work is expected to keep a
major portion of the Astoria Riverfront Trolley’s usual route closed or inaccessible through late
May. But volunteers plan to run the trolley later this month on a shorter route for spring break.
The route schedule is still being fi nalized.
Coast Guard helps vessel taking on water

A rough year expected for Washington salmon run
By LYNDA V. MAPES
Seattle Times
A lean year for orcas and
fi shermen alike is expected
in Washington state, with
poor salmon returns forecast
for many species all over the
state.
Fisheries
profession-
als are working to set fi sh-
ing seasons on both sides of
the U.S.-Canada border for
the coming year. So far the
news is grim, with salmon
forecast to return at just frac-
tions of 10-year averages.
For the southern res-
idents, it will be another
tough year ahead, with
even fewer fi sh forecast
this year than last in many
of the important rivers the
whales rely on in their sea-
sonal migratory rounds.
Below-average returns are
predicted from the Fraser
to the Columbia, as well as
smaller body sizes for most
species, according to the
Department of Fisheries and
Oceans Canada.
Returns of spring Chi-
nook to the Columbia are
predicted to be down 14
percent from last year,
and at just half the 10-year
average.
These fi sh return mostly
to hatcheries, but also to
some spawning areas above
Bonneville Dam, and are
a mainstay for orcas and
fi shermen alike. Those fi sh
are particularly import-
ant to endangered south-
ern-resident killer whales
because of their size, fat
content and seasonal timing.
Upriver bright and fall Chi-
nook returns to the Colum-
bia are also at about half the
10-year average return.
The news isn’t better in
Puget Sound. Only 29,800
wild Chinook are pre-
dicted to come back. Pro-
tecting those fragile runs
The Coast Guard towed in
a sailor taking on water Sat-
urday 10 miles west of the
Columbia River entrance.
The sailor on the Colum-
will necessitate reductions
in fi shing of hatchery fi sh
to reduce the unintentional
killing of wild Chinook.
The projected return of
hatchery Chinook to Puget
Sound also is down from
2018, but still 11 percent
above the 10-year average.
Chum look bad particularly
in Puget Sound, with the
lowest returns forecast in a
decade.
There are some bright
spots. Coho returning this
year missed the worst years
of poor ocean conditions,
where young fi sh must fat-
ten and thrive. Coho hatch-
ery and wild returns to
Puget Sound are up about
15 percent from the 10-year
average, with more than
100,000 fi sh coming back
over last year, and good
returns predicted in mid-
and South Sound rivers such
as the Green, Puyallup and
Nisqually.
