| Notes | This Master’s thesis examines Oregon’s surviving fish hatcheries in the context of historic preservation. “In addition to surveying and inventorying fish hatchery resources, this study will analyze the social, economic, cultural, and environmental conditions under which these fish hatcheries were organized and commissioned. Ultimately, this survey will not only serve as a baseline for future, more intensive-level surveys, but will also provide a foundation for a National Register Multiple Property Submission. The use of hatcheries to sustain native Oregon fish species constitutes a major aspect of Oregon’s fishing and environmental conservation efforts.” The author gives a good summary of the relationship of hatcheries to the fishing industry and to government initiatives to promote and sustain salmon fisheries. |
