Last month I joined my colleagues on the House Committee on Natural Resources for a hearing that centered around our national fish hatcheries. We have two mitigation hatcheries in the First District - at Norfork Lake and Greers Ferry Lake - that support over 1,000 jobs and contribute over $5 million in economic activity to their state and region. I believe it is entirely unacceptable to ignore the economic impact of our mitigation hatcheries and the amount of jobs they support. The good news from the hearing is that our hatcheries will be funded for another year and officials will be working with me and others going forward to get input about the economic impact our hatcheries make in the First District: https://youtube/watch?v=G7AAmqjxfCs&list=UULKAkVl4BHRK73lmDiIgPYg
