The Wild Salmon Center desired desk level, first order estimates for North Pacific commercial salmon fisheries economic measures. The measures were to include direct effects (fish numbers, volume, and harvest/first wholesale value) and were to include comparable indicators so that the importance of salmon fishing industry could be shown within regional economies. The proportional share of the effects from salmon origin (natural or hatchery) was also of interest.
In recognition of the Harrison Basin’s fisheries values the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council, after meeting with the Chehalis Indian Band, determined to pursue and test the Salmon Stronghold concept in the Harrison Basin.
The Stronghold Partnership is a voluntary, incentive-based initiative intended to supplement ongoing ecosystem protection and restoration efforts by providing leadership, enhanced coordination and public and private resources to support priority actions.
State forestry officials warned this month that more staff cuts will force Oregon to abandon enforcement of the law. What are now rules would become voluntary guidelines.
Includes the proposed Harrison River Salmon Stronghold.
