Our facility was built in 1975. For a house on the west coast of that age, there's lots of maintenance, let alone when there's water running through it. We've done quite a bit of fundraising to maintain our facility and upgrade it to the highest level of biosecurity standards, so we are poised to move into the future effectively.
We're still facing threats like climate change. We need to increase the height of our dam. I have the ability to increase rearing capacity, but we need more water. I'd like to get more crews. Salmon are generally all spawning at the same time, so we could have more crews on more systems.
The money that we're looking for is not for carpeting and Xerox machines; it's for more people and making sure we have effective, well-maintained equipment.
