From the co-chairs of the Governor's Southern Resident Orca Task Force

Please join us on Thursday, September 27, for a panel discussion via webinar to address questions from members of the Governor's Southern Resident Orca Task Force related to the Lower Snake River Dams. 

The following panelists will participate in the Lower Snake River Dams discussion:

• Ed Bowles, Fish Division Administrator, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
• Joe Bumgarner, Lower Snake River Hatchery Compensation Program, US Fish & Wildlife Service
• Kieran Connolly, Vice President of Generation and Asset Management, Bonneville Power Administration
• Michele DeHart, Manager, Fish Passage Center (To Be Confirmed)

Task Force and Working Group members are encouraged to participate and ask questions, but no deliberations will take place, and no actions will be taken. The goal of the webinar is for Task Force and Working Group members to better understand this topic and help members formulate their perspectives about the potential orca recovery actions involving removal of the Lower Snake River Dams.

The public is welcome to listen to the webinar, which will be recorded for later viewing.
