Release The Salmon Day
Release Season 2007
This year we tried a night release. As you can see in the pictures our hardy band of volunteers and staff came out on a dark and stormy night to release 40,000 chinook salmon. We are hoping it gives them a better chance against the predators.
On the fifth of May, we invited the public to come and help us release a bunch more. As you can see in the album we had an enthusiastic crowd of "volunteers."
On the tenth of May we moved 20,000 coho to a net pen in Halfmoon Bay. They will be held there for ten days to imprint on that water and then released. This way, they will return to Halfmoon Bay to spawn.
