Raise the Deschutes seminar recording

The Deschutes River Conservancy has an ongoing seminar series called Raise the Deschutes. I have been critical of the spin and omissions in most of them, but their most recent one titled “Fish, Flows, and the Future: Conservation and Management in the Deschutes Basin” is pretty good. Fish biologists from the US Forest Service and Portland General Electric provide a good overview of restoration work and fish status for resident fish and the anadromous fish reintroduction program. The target audience is people who have limited if any knowledge of the topic but there were some interesting tidbits and updates in there even for people who have been immersed in the topic for a long time. It was long, but worth watching. OK, I do have a criticism: there was no discussion of habitat or resident fish health in the Middle Deschutes.
