Salmon hatchery rejuvenating runs in Washington state
(MCT) — SEATTLE — A little over a year ago, the permanent Cedar River Hatchery began producing sockeye salmon in hopes of rejuvenating a run that has seen some hard times.
Good fortune came this past summer as an unexpected large return of 145,815 sockeye (45,871 was the preseason forecast) made the long journey back from the ocean to one of Washington state’s largest urban watersheds.
