The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission is proud to announce the 2008 Annual Tribal Habitat Conference May 22-23. The conference will be hosted by the Quinault Indian Nation at the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino in Ocean Shores, Washington.

This conference provides an opportunity for Tribes to exchange ideas and gain a "big picture" perspective and appreciation of each tribe's contribution to the challenge of habitat protection and recovery. It is a forum by which we can collectively chart our progress and more effectively plan future habitat priorities.

The first day of the conference will focus on guest speakers and presenters. Day two will be a workshop presented by the USGS Washington Water Science Center.

We are in the early stages of planning at this time. We invite your ideas for this year’s theme, topics, and speakers. In addition, we will be hosting a poster session. Please think about projects you would like to showcase at the event to share this with us.

More information on the 2008 Habitat Conference will follow shortly.

Thank you. Please save these days and feel free to help us spread the word.
