In response to questions raised at our Hatchery Workshop (February 2023) and questions we frequently hear in communities we created this information handout on genetics and restoration hatcheries. It highlights how restoration hatcheries can both positively and negatively affect genetic diversity of salmon. A restoration hatchery should be carefully considered and should include a detailed restoration plan. If you are considering a restoration project and would like assistance, please reach out to us.
