<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0in; border-color: windowtext; border-style: none; border-width: 1pt; font-family: New serif; color: black;">We've received a number of inquiries recently about our annual Klamath River Fish Health Workshop for 2022. In discussions with our event co-hosts
at Oregon State University and the Service's CA/Nev Fish Health Center, we've agreed to hold off setting a date for the workshop as we feel this information-sharing event would benefit greatly by holding it in-person rather than virtual as we did last year.
That said, we've agreed to strive to hold the open-forum, presentation-based session in-person in mid- to late-summer, with the location and exact date yet to be decided. If Covid-19 travel restrictions are still in play as they are for many of us, we will
adjust and hold the session virtually. We remain hopeful, however, that </span><span style="margin:0px;font-family:New serif;color:black;">conditions will allow us to safely meet in person by summer. </span></p>
