Cowlitz River Advisory Group

This advisory group has been disbanded or is no longer active.

The Cowlitz River Advisory Group recommends policies and actions to WDFW designed to support sustainable fishing opportunities on the Cowlitz River while conserving wild native runs. WDFW formed the group in 2010 to provide recommendations on updating the Cowlitz River Fishery and Hatchery Management Plan, which establishes Tacoma Power's obligations to support hatchery production and fish management activities in the Cowlitz Basin.

The group is comprised of 15 to 20 members, who generally meet four times per year to develop policy recommendations for salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout fisheries and conservation measures in the Cowlitz River.

At the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, we celebrate diverse individuals who bring a wide range of perspectives. All are welcome to participate in our processes regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, status as a veteran, and basis of disability.
