The Bernie Kai-Kai Gobin Hatchery is operated by the Tulalip
Tribes and located on the Tulalip reservation near Marysville,
Washington, USA. The hatchery raises and releases three species
of salmon, which provide fishing opportunity for Tulalip tribal
members in terminal area fisheries on and near the Tulalip Reservation
as well as contributing to other commercial and sport fisheries
in Washington and British Columbia. Because many wild salmon runs
are currently depressed or endangered, the hatchery returns are
especially important to the Tulalip Tribes at this time. Having
a reliable return of hatchery salmon allows tribal members to
fish for ceremonial, subsistence, and commercial purposes, without
overharvest of those wild salmon runs that require protection.
The long-term vision of the Tulalip Tribes is the restoration
of wild salmon production to levels that will support fishing
needs.
