I've been talking with the Commercial Fishing Assoc. of Whatcom County (CFA) about an idea they've been shopping regarding a public/private/tribal partnership that would dramatically increase the output of the hatchery in Old Town currently operated by BTC as a teaching platform.
The partnership would involve BTC's NW Center for for Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences program, support/funding by the fishing community and some role by the tribe that I don't know of yet.
I toured a neat hatchery in Juneau that may be a model for here. The program is extensive, they don't just grow fish. Check out:

So, whaddya think? I wanted to relocate the library to this site but that got shot down by the Library board so is there a more suitable use for the old Sash and Door site?
Is a hatchery expansion a good use?
