The Coos History Museum will be hosting the September First Tuesday Talk program on September 6th, 2022 at 6:00 PM. Speaker Gary Vonderohe, Assistant District Fish Biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will present the talk, “Salmon Trout Enhancement Program (STEP) in the Coos Basin”.

Registration for this presentation is free for CHM Members, $7 for non-members attending in person, and $5 for non-members attending online. Join Gary for a talk about the history of the salmon population in the Coos Basin. Learn about the history of some of the local fish hatcheries, the role the STEP program has played, and how our salmon populations are doing today. Don’t miss out on this very “fishy” presentation and the opportunity to take a “step” toward more knowledge about our local fish populations.
