CCA WASHINGTON INTERVENES IN COLUMBIA RIVER GILLNET LAWSUIT. In April commercial gillnet interests filed a lawsuit in Thurston County Superior Court challenging the new Columbia River fishery reform policy that was adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. Earlier this month CCA Washington filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit. On Thursday, June 13, CCA’s motion to intervene was granted by the Thurston County Superior Court. By intervening CCA Washington becomes a formal party in the case and will be joining with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to defend the policy. CCA Washington is committed to defending the Columbia River fishery reform policy and its benefits for our fisheries’ resources. CCA has already hired expert, outside legal counsel to help defend the rule and represent our members’ interests as the lawsuit progresses.
