| Note from the President: Here we are in the first week of January - many of us are wrapping up 2008 fisheries research reports and are gearing up for 2009 studies. This is an important year. Your fisheries research and our collective efforts have never been so important. With regions facing endangered species challenges, serious water allocation issues, and an economic downturn in play - our work can appear more than daunting. Which is why I say the key is in the collaboration. Our work is recovering fisheries and making significant improvements in ecology. We are learning more about our environment, sharing data, and seeing signs that our recovery efforts are succeeding. See for yourself and get involved in a fisheries organization or network (e.g., American Fisheries Society). And HTI will be more involved too. So, we’ll see you in the field - sleeves rolled up and ready to go to work. We look forward to continued collaboration with you |

HTI recently developed a cableless, solar powered, acoustic tag data logger buoy. The new Model 295B Acoustic Tag Data Logger was designed to withstand the rigorous hydraulic and high wind environment of the Columbia River.
Engineered into an unsinkable, foam filled small skiff, the buoy-based data logger doesn’t require cabling or shore-based electronics. It uses wireless data transmission, permitting real-time monitoring of the system’s status, as well as immediate notification of any system faults. The fiberglass deck provides easy access for servicing and keeps the electronics cool with a river-water air conditioning system.
