00:00.541 --> 00:04.280
(fish flops down conveyor)

00:04.280 --> 00:09.280
- Saving salmon is connected
directly to people.

00:10.550 --> 00:14.250
We have a long cultural kinda heritage,

00:14.250 --> 00:17.060
whether it's with our
Native American tribes

00:17.060 --> 00:19.340
or even other folks that
have lived out here.

00:19.340 --> 00:21.840
My own family has fished in this region

00:21.840 --> 00:23.903
for salmon for a hundred years.

00:25.180 --> 00:28.540
The general public doesn't
understand how involved

00:28.540 --> 00:32.040
with fish and fisheries
that Corps of Engineers is

00:32.040 --> 00:33.073
in Willamette Basin.

00:34.810 --> 00:37.220
It takes a whole team of
people to make it happen.

00:37.220 --> 00:38.840
It's not done by one section,

00:38.840 --> 00:40.570
not one group or an individual,

00:40.570 --> 00:45.040
but a whole bunch of people
and you know, that is reward.

00:45.040 --> 00:47.330
It is all about people.

00:47.330 --> 00:50.160
If it weren't, there wouldn't
be the level of effort,

00:50.160 --> 00:52.520
the level of resourcing
and things like that,

00:52.520 --> 00:54.950
that have gone into
trying to save these fish.
