populations by permitting greater survival and area 

 utilization of these fish during their salt water life. 

 Increased salt water survival of our natural and hatchery- 

 reared fish would permit this Department to meet a part 

 of the increased demand for outdoor recreation with little 

 expansion of existing facilities. 



We, therefore, are very much interested in 

 the proposed cleanup of pollution in the Puget Sound region. 

 We agree with the findings of the Federal Water Pollution 

 Control Administration and urge that the full implemen- 

 tation of their recommendations be made. Only when this 

 implementation occurs can we hope to meet the future 

 demands for better fishing in our fresh and salt water areas, 



I thank you.
