Join Us Tomorrow on Bainbridge Island for a Press Event with Commissioner Hilary Franz to Celebrate the Removal of Puget Sound's Net Pens
This weekend, we shared the incredible news <https://default.salsalabs.org/T75128f41-4708-4ce8-a4e5-b40f16b3f9e3/e1f9ba72-dc83-4f20-90cd-07d9d1ee41b3> that the enormous victory we've
been striving for together since we launched the Our Sound, Our Salmon campaign <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tc4d164a3-61a5-4ea3-a107-110b98dc32ad/e1f9ba72-dc83-4f20-90cd-07d9d1ee41b3>
in 2017 is finally here. All last week, Cooke Aquaculture has been packing up their nets, pulling up anchors, and removing net pen infrastructure.
Now, Puget Sound is only days away from being free of all commercial net pens for the first time in nearly half a century!
To celebrate this historic moment, Washington Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz worked quickly to plan a celebratory press conference tomorrow afternoon at Bainbridge Island's
Fort Ward State Park, the same beach where she announced Washington's new policy prohibiting commercial net pen aquaculture in Washington waters and where the Our Sound, Our Salmon
flotilla protest <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tf6acd7a5-68d2-4900-a561-3a62e0cd82d1/e1f9ba72-dc83-4f20-90cd-07d9d1ee41b3> took place back in 2017.
We recognize it's short notice, but we wanted to be sure to extend an invitation to all our members and supporters who made this environmental victory possible. We hope you can join
us, but if you can't make it out tomorrow, please know there will be many more opportunities to come together and celebrate this monumental accomplishment for wild fish and the health
of Puget Sound!
Wild Fish Conservancy is once again honored to participate and speak at alongside Commissioner Franz and Suquamish Tribe Chairman Leonard Forsman. All are welcome to join for this celebratory
press conference and a post-event celebration at Doc's Marina Grill <https://default.salsalabs.org/Ta566af14-1a7f-4952-a390-54165bb383b8/e1f9ba72-dc83-4f20-90cd-07d9d1ee41b3> with
Commissioner Franz and her staff to clink glasses.
Keep reading for more details on attending this event and we are looking forward to celebrating with you!
