Or. Admin. Code § 635-500-3905 - Coho Salmon in the Oregon Portion of the Klamath River and Tributaries
(1) Goal:
Restore self-sustaining populations of naturally reproduced coho salmon in the
Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its tributaries.
(2) Policies:
(a) Coho salmon shall be monitored for
natural re-colonization into the Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its
tributaries.
(b) A Re-Introduction
Implementation Plan shall be prepared which identifies facilities and
evaluation activities to monitor natural re-colonization of coho salmon into
the Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its tributaries.
(c) Coho salmon in the Oregon portion of the
Klamath River and its tributaries shall be managed for natural production
consistent with the Native Fish Conservation Policy (OAR
635-007-0503).
(d) No coho salmon shall be released into the
Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its tributaries, unless re-colonization
is not occurring or is too slow as described through criteria directed under
the Re-introduction Implementation Plan.
(e) An Anadromous Fish Conservation Plan for
coho salmon in the Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its tributaries, or
amendments to the Recovery Plan for SONCC Coho, consistent with stipulations of
the Department's Native Fish Conservation Policy (OAR
635-007-0503) shall be prepared
for Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission approval, once self-sustaining
population(s) of coho salmon are established in the Oregon portion of the
Klamath River and its tributaries.
(f) The Anadromous Fish Conservation Plan, or
amendments to the Recovery Plan for SONCC Coho, prepared for Oregon Fish and
Wildlife Commission approval shall provide policy direction to guide management
of established coho salmon populations in the Oregon portion of the Klamath
Basin. This plan will be incorporated into a comprehensive plan for fisheries
management of the entire Klamath River Basin that will fulfill requirements of
the Pacific Fisheries Management Council.
(3) Objectives:
(a) Monitor natural re-colonization of coho
salmon into the Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its
tributaries.
(b) Protect and
improve coho salmon habitat in the Oregon portion of the Klamath River and its
tributaries.
(c) Integrate
self-sustaining populations of coho salmon returning to the Oregon portion of
the Klamath River Basin into tribal, sport and commercial fisheries through
development of an Anadromous Fish Conservation Plan, or amendments to the
Recovery Plan for SONCC Coho.
