of net fouling as chunks of
the collapsed fish farm were
hauled up and disposed of
after the August net-pen
collapse.
Investigators
preserved pieces of net in
mussels for evidence, The
Times reported.
“It’s possible these animals
played a significant role in the
failure of net pen #2,” Dennis
Clark, assistant division
manager for the state Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
wrote investigators on Sept.
10, reviewing photos of heavy
mussel growth on the nets.
Cooke’s vice president of
communication, Joel Rich-
ardson, declined to comment
on the nets or maintenance
issues at Cypress Island.
“We are cooperating fully
with the regulatory agencies
as their investigation is
underway,”
Richardson
wrote in an email to The
Times. “As such, it would
not be appropriate for me to
provide comments.”
Employees
confirmed
to investigators that two of
three machines used to clean
nets were being repaired,
reducing the ability to keep
up with the net fouling issue.

Probe of farmed salmon
collapse focuses on nets
SEATTLE (AP) — State
investigators are examining
nets heavily covered with
mussels and other sea life
as a cause in the collapse of
net pens at a salmon farm
last summer that released
thousands of non-native fish
into the Salish Sea.
Photos obtained by The
Seattle Times show portions of
nets at Cooke Aquaculture’s
operation off Cypress Island
so covered with mussel and
other growth that the net was
no longer visible. The photos
show heaps of mussels on the
dock when the nets were lifted
with a crane to be disposed.
KUOW has also reported on
the investigation.
Cooke is required under
terms of its state lease to keep
it farms in a clean and safe
condition.
Nets that accumulate too
many organisms or material
such as mussels, kelp or algae
can cause drag and change
the way the nets behave
underwater in tidal currents.
It can also block mesh
openings and impede flow of
water through a net-pen.
Early on state investi-
gators focused on the issue

Immigration forum aims to
answer questions, bridge gaps
East Oregonian
Andy Nelson/The Register-Guard via AP
Bryce Hanson tosses fresh snow into
the air while standing on a dock near
Odell Lake Lodge east of Willamette
Pass near Crescent on Wednesday.
Hanson was visiting the resort from
California. A storm moving through
the Cascades is expected to contin-
ue to dump considerable amounts of
snow in the higher elevations.
An immigration forum next
week will focus on educating
people on all sides — everyone
from recent immigrants wanting
to know their rights to longtime
residents who want to gain a better
understanding of what immigrants
face to reach legal status.
“The whole aim is to build
bridges between communities,”
said Jesse Roa, one of the event’s
organizers. “There are some cultural
gaps. We need to eliminate some
of the fear and misunderstanding
going on, and show people that
there’s solidarity.”
Roa said speakers at the event
would present in both English and
Spanish, and would cover issues
related to immigration reform,
filing for legal immigrant status,
and resources for community
members.
“We want to give people a basic
understanding,” he said. “Immi-
gration and filing for legal status is
not just like going to the DMV and
getting your driver’s license. The
process takes years.”
People from local and regional
groups will be present, including
the Walla Walla and Tri-Cities
Immigration Coalitions, Oregon
Rural Action, and Consejo Latino.
Eammon Roach, a Pasco immigra-
tion attorney, will be the special
guest speaker.
Roa said he hoped people would
take advantage of the resources in
the area.
“This area seems to feel isolated
from everyone,” he said. “We’re
not in Washington, we’re far from
the west side of the state. So we
want to bridge those gaps.”
The event will take place on
Saturday, Feb. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m.,
and will be held at St. John’s
Episcopal Church, at 665 E. Gladys
Ave., Hermiston. Dinner will be
catered by Ruty’s Restaurant.
Contact Roa for more details,
at 509-378-4181, or at jesse_roa@
yahoo.com.
