Ongoing drought conditions can take a toll on Oregon’s fish and wildlife, according to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. While Clatsop County ben- efitted from a wet spring and early summer, parts of the state remain in significant drought, with this week’s heat exacerbating conditions. During a drought, fish face challenges. Low water can strand them and make mi- grating to the ocean more dif- ficult for juveniles. Adult fish returning to home rivers may struggle to survive and can fail to spawn the next genera- tion of fish. With food and water scarc- er, birds and mammals can become weaker and their young less likely to survive.

The number of frogs in dwindling pools can lead to more competition, poorer growth, greater dis- ease risk and lower survival.

Keep dogs on a leash. • Fish in the mornings and evenings.
