Analysis of Amendment 14 that would manage the Cook Inlet EEZ Subarea by applying the prohibition on commercial salmon fishing that is currently established in the West Area to the newly added Cook Inlet EEZ Subarea.
Annual and updated reports on salmon incidental catch in the Alaska groundfish fisheries. Includes information on salmon bycatch reduction measures and sources for the genetic composition of salmon caught in these fisheries.
The Snake River is a tributary to the Columbia River. The proposed management plans include fall Chinook salmon fisheries, coho salmon fisheries, and Oregon’s resident trout fishery in the Snake River Basin.
This analysis addresses the groundfish trawl and non-trawl sectors and their impacts on salmon bycatch in support of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) salmon consultation for the groundfish fishery.
The goal of ESA recovery under this plan is to improve the viability of Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon and steelhead, and the ecosystems upon which they depend, to the point that they no longer require ESA protection.
