Cormorant ‘harassment’ program continues in effort to protect young fish
Harassment, or “hazing,” of
double-crested cormorants is
set to begin soon in several
areas along the Oregon Coast in
an effort to improve survival of
juvenile salmon.
Double-crested cormorants
are fish-eating waterbirds that
occur throughout the state. The
species is an Oregon native,
and is particularly prevalent on
the state’s estuaries during
April through October.
Research indicates cor-
morants can consume signifi-
cant numbers of juvenile
salmon during this time period.
To reduce the threat to young
fish, the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is
working with several nonprofit
and local governmental organi-
zations to haze cormorants on
six coastal estuaries over the
next two to four months.
Hazing will involve driving
the birds from locations where
juvenile salmon are seasonally
concentrated, toward areas
where non-salmon fish species
are more abundant.
Workers will use boats and,
on some estuaries, small
pyrotechnics, to accomplish the
task.
Hazing is intended to
increase the survival of both
wild-spawned and hatchery
salmon juveniles as they
migrate to the ocean.
Some of these spring
migrants represent species that
are experiencing conditions of
conservation risk, including
coho salmon, which is federally
threatened in Oregon under the
Endangered Species Act.

“NO SHOW GOLF TOURNAMENT”
Benefiting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life
Please join me for a “NO SHOW GOLF TOURNAMENT” not to be held Saturday, June 19, 2017 to
benefit the American Cancer Society. This event is designed for your participation, but not your
attendance, as this event does not exist.
During this busy part of the year, as Springtime is upon us, please remember just how many blessings
there are in regards to cancer research. The funds raised from this “NO SHOW GOLF
TOURNAMENT” will benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Florence, Oregon.
Thank you in advance for your help and support.
Giving one day to the fight against cancer could add years to the lives of others.

Meet Milo
Hi there, my name is Milo! I am almost
2 years old now, and I came into the
shelter here in Florence in September of
2016. I am a very active young guy who
very much enjoys lots of run and play
like any dog. I can be rowdy sometimes
when playing, and need to be reminded
sometimes to use my manners, and that
I am a good boy. Also, you should know, I
have been on a special diet. I will require
special food for my diet, so if you are
thinking of adopting me, please ask the
shelter staff about my food... If you are
interested in my adoption, please come
to see me here at the Oregon Coast
Humane Society.
If you would like to meet Milo or any of his
friends, please visit us at:
