Cindy Verbeek is an environmental educator working for A Rocha, an international Christian conservation organization dedicated to scientific research, conservation, education, and sustainable agriculture. The fry release is really just a small part in a much greater, holistic strategy that is needed for these conservation efforts to be successful. “We’re in the business of engaging the community” explains Verbeek, “and getting them more involved in, hopefully, caring for the watershed so the salmon that are already there can have a healthy watershed to live in”
