Join us: May 16th-17th, 2008!
Fishing enthusiasts will gather at the Old Mill in Garibaldi and on scenic Tillamook Bay May 16 & 17, 2008 for the 5th annual TEP Bounty on the Bay.
Proceeds from this annual fundraiser support TEP's efforts to implement the Tillamook Bay Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). Over five years in development, the CCMP establishes 63 scientifically-based, community supported actions that
restore water quality, enhance degraded habitats, reduce sedimentation, and lessen the impacts of coastal flooding.
The two-day fundraising event kicks off at the Old Mill in Garibaldi, with a hearty buffet-style pasta dinner followed with angling seminars by local pro guides. TEP then hosts a Spring Chinook fishing tournament
on Saturday, featuring a great day on the bay, fishing prizes donated by our generous sponsors, and an opportunity to hire one of several local guides who donate their proceeds to TEP
salmon habitat enhancement efforts.
The activities culminate Saturday
evening with a sumptuous seafood dinner - a hallmark of the event- and silent auction,  hosted by TEP board members, staff and volunteers.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all contributions are tax deductible and go towards TEP's Habitat Enhancement Program. The organization's signature project, a large wetlands acquisition and restoration effort at the confluence of the Wilson and Trask Rivers, stands to restore 377 acres of prime juvenile salmon habitat that will contribute significantly to local sportfisheries.
