style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">The OPC recognizes that California has already
benefitted from a significant amount of work by thousands of people on salmon
issues and seeks to build on and maximize these investments in salmon. The
workshop has two main goals: </SPAN></FONT><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">(1) to identify the top causes of wild salmon population
decline; and (2) to receive feedback from the public on how the OPC can help
ensure wild populations of salmon exist in California for future generations.
There is a particular interest in “big ideas” about statewide policy
objectives for salmon and the core strategies we are using, or should consider
using, to achieve those objectives. The Eureka workshop follows a similar
workshop that took place in Sausalito on August 14, 2008.<BR></SPAN><FONT
