Description    


The Skokomish Tribe hired a contractor to help the Tribe in determining the feasibility of a NOAA plan to create and use a Chinook rebuilding exploitation rate (RER) in the Skokomish River. No RER existed for the Skokomish Chinook population. The Comprehensive Management Plan for Puget Sound Chinook, Harvest Management Component, guides the implementation of fisheries in Washington, under co-manager jurisdiction, but it considers harvest impacts from fisheries in Alaska and British Columbia, to ensure management unit objectives are not exceeded. The primary intent of the Plan is to enable harvest of strong, productive stocks of chinook, and other salmon species, and to minimize harvest of less abundant salmon populations. This project resulted in the contractor developing an alternate RER to be used in ongoing discussions with WDFW and NOAAF.

Project Benefit    


The work the contractor is doing will help the Tribe by creating an alternate, and more appropriate, RER from the one being created by NOAA. Applying this alternate RER will be a better gauge allowing the Tribe to provide for conservation and recovery of an ESA listed species by helping with management (harvest) decisions. This project will ensure that conservation measures, designed to protect vulnerable salmon populations while still allowing for treaty-reserved harvest opportunity, established in the harvest plan are met.
