Description

This project funded the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribes participation in the Hood Canal and Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca Lead Entity Process. This funding was used to fund tribal staff membership on the Hood Canal Coordinating Council’s (HCCC ) Technical Advisory Group (TAG). TAG is comprised of local (Hood Canal and Puget Sound) professionals with specific technical expertise related to salmon habitat recovery. TAG evaluates and scores Salmon Recovery Funding Board project applications that seek to benefit salmon by improving important habitat conditions or watershed processes. TAG determines a final technical ranked list of projects and forwards those to the Habitat Project List Committee for their consideration and final ranking.

Project Benefit

This project will help ensure that the habitat portions of the Summer Chum and Chinook Salmon Recovery Plans are implemented in accordance with the lead entity area overseen by the Hood Canal Coordinating Council. These activities include developing both short term (3 Year Work Program) and long term (Habitat Work Schedule) project lists, and evaluating and ranking project proposals.

Description and scope of the plan implemented

The SRP lays out a comprehensive strategy intended to meet the technical requirements for a recovery plan under ESA while respecting political, economic, historical, social, and cultural values and realities in the planning area. It is designed to ensure the long-term survival and health of summer chum salmon originating from the Hood Canal and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca watersheds.Though the SRP does not specifically address other ESA-listed species in the region (Puget Sound Chinook and bull trout), it is expected that these species will benefit from recovery actions.
