2019 Salmon Recovery Conference

It is in Tacoma on April 8-9. Has anyone here attended this conference in the past?

"This year’s conference marks the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Salmon Recovery Act in Washington state. The conference brings together people involved with salmon recovery for information sharing and networking about the 4 H’s of salmon recovery: habitat, hydropower, hatcheries, and harvest. The conference is an opportunity to share best practices, improve recovery plan implementation and review, and learn how others are adapting project designs given new or emerging data and information. "

"Since 2007, the conference has evolved from examining lessons learned to achieving a broader goal of messaging and problem solving about salmon recovery. The conference began as a place to discuss on-the-ground salmon recovery projects and how to implement them better. The conference has grown, and now also includes recent research and policy discussions about salmon recovery and how salmon recovery benefits human society. "

I'm curious if any NWFR members have submitted abstracts to present at this year's conference. The deadline is January 31. They welcome proposals for presentations from everyone:

"We welcome abstracts from the full breadth of participants in the salmon recovery effort: project managers; staff from land trusts, fishery enhancement groups, watershed councils, and conservation districts; tribal members and staff; state, federal, city, and county agency employees; planners, landowners, hatchery workers, commercial fishing professionals, sport fishers, fish scientists, restoration ecologists, wetland biologists, project engineers, hydrologists, educators, students, community volunteers, and other people active in Pacific Coastal salmon recovery."
