Commercial fishers getting state compensation
Clatsop County’s commer-
cial salmon fishers began re-
ceiving payments this week
for impacts caused by chang-
es to Columbia River com-
mercial salmon harvesting
policies.
The
state
set
aside
$500,000 in the Columbia
River Transition Fund to
provide compensation for
direct economic losses and
reimbursement for fish-
Leaders and
youth sought for
4-H programs
A new 4-H Club for those
interested in aerospace and
electricity is forming in War-
renton.
The club is for young people
ages 9 to 19 and members will
learn about electrical circuits,
conductors, magnets, the sci-
ence behind planes and rock-
ets and more.
Participants will experience
hands-on learning and ac-
tivities and have a chance to
make like-minded friends.
Another 4-H Club for dog
lovers is looking for members
and there are youth interest-
ed in photography and art
who need a club leader.
Adult volunteers, or Clover-
bud leaders, are being sought
throughout the county
An informational meet-
ing for interested adult vol-
unteers is set for 5:30 p.m.
Monday, Dec. 10, at the 4-H
and Extension Office in Asto-
ria.
To join 4-H, to volunteer as
an adult, or to attend the in-
formational meeting, contact

ing equipment purchased
to comply with the policy
change.
Payments ranging from
$56 to $8,750 have been
mailed to 126 commercial
salmon permit holders eligi-
ble for compensation.
The transition fund was
set up by the Oregon Legis-
lature in 2013 following the
adoption of a plan by Oregon
and Washington to phase
out salmon gillnetting on the
Columbia’s main channel by
requiring fishers to move to
off-channel sites or switch to
alternative gear such as seine
nets.
In the wake of the new poli-
cy, many commercial fishers
invested in new equipment
in anticipation of the new
rules, saw their harvests re-
duced or experienced other
financial impacts.
