- Discussion of selected hazards and risks as examples (genetic, fish health, and ecological interactions)
- Benefits – brief summary building on benefits discussed in Workshop #1
- What risks does the Commission’s 2018 Prey Initiative identify and what protections does it propose or provide from adverse effects on wild Chinook salmon populations?
