This blog is by students in the Skills Center Natural Resources program with Pacific Coast Salmon Coalition.
The Pacific Coast Salmon Coalition is a non profit organization that help repair broken eco systems and also allows high school students come in and help and volunteer time to earn credit and possibility of being and intern and making some money while they donate their time. One of my favorite things to do here at the Salmon Coalition is killing fish at the hatcheries. we separate them then into two groups, one of them is food quality fish and the other one is nutrient enhancement fish. The food quality fish get taken to get fileted and then taken to the local food bank. The nutrient enhancement fish get the tails cut off so that stream surveyors can tell the difference between naturally dead fish and ones that were placed there. we put the fish in the stream so that the nutrients go to the baby fish because the baby fish feed off the carcasses so they become healthy and we have better food quality fish.
