Happy New Year and Thanks to the Countless Number of People Who Have Helped SARSAS and Other Organizations Return Salmon to the Auburn Ravine

Happy New Year and Thanks to the Countless Number of People Who Have Helped SARSAS and Other Organizations Return Salmon to the Auburn Ravine 

What you all have done is almost miraculous with 273 salmon and 43 redds counted below Hemphill Dam, and even with no retrofitting for fish passage of NID's Hemphill Dam,, 30 salmon and 4 redds were measured and counted by CaDF&G, one of many underfunded and understaffed state agencies that goes far beyond what appears possible, and a special heartfelt thank to NOAA's Special Agent Don Tanner who have made an immeasurable contribution to salmon returning.

And a very special thanks to the Board of Directors of SARSAS who have doggedly persisted with its mission of returning salmon and steelhead to the entire thirty-three mile length of the Auburn Ravine.

May the new year bring even more focus and determination to help the fishes.
