Dr. Jack Stanford, noted expert in river ecology and river restoration, will speak Sept. 24, at 3 p.m. at the J.M. Perry auditorium in Yakima about fish restoration in the Yakima Basin.

Stanford will discuss what factors and influences will shape the future of salmon recovery in the Yakima.
The Yakima meeting at Perry Tech will wind up a day of meetings scheduled for Stanford with regional and national fish biologists, senior leaders of the Yakama Nation, and investors of the Yakima Basin Storage Alliance, supports of the Black Rock Reservoir project.
