Rogue-South Coast fish plan stakeholder teams meet virtually, June 3

ROSEBURG, Ore – The Rogue-South Coast Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan (RSP) stakeholder teams meet virtually next week to continue ODFW’s plan development process for winter and summer steelhead, coho salmon, and cutthroat trout. Due to the Governor’s Stay Home, Save Lives order, the meetings are held online and by teleconference and are open for public observation. Both meetings run 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and the agenda will be posted online on the RSP website. The meetings are open for public observation, however given they are virtual and shortened, public comments will not be taken during the meeting. Instead, public comments will be taken June 3 – June 12 by emailing ODFW.RSP.Comments@state.or.us June 3: South Coast Stratum – Join online first and get an Audio PIN: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/296261061 After joining through the link above, or if you do not have an internet connection to join, dial into the meeting: 1-669-224-3412 (access code: 296-261-061; enter Audio PIN when prompted if you first joined through the internet connection).
