Description

Abstract: The Coos River Basin Fish Management Plan was developed to guide management of fish and shellfish and their habitat in the Coos River Basin. This written plan identifies objectives and activities which will be implemented by ODFW within the Coos River Basin. This plan also ranks the important management activities. With a good understanding of stated direction within ODFW, priorities can be better and more easily assessed when developing biennial budgets, making routine work assignments, and making decisions in crisis situations. By stating objectives for managing fisheries, fish and shellfish populations, and habitat, the public and ODFW will have a better understanding of the direction being taken with these activities in the Coos River basin. The plan can also be used to inform other agencies of our objectives so that fishery considerations can be included when planning for other land and water use activities. The Fish Management Policy of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) directs that management plans will be prepared for each basin or management unit. The Coos River Basin Fish Management Plan (hereafter referred to as the Coos Basin Plan or the Plan) is just one part of the overall planning effort of ODFW. Individual species plans contain statewide policies, guidelines, and objectives, and provide general direction for writing basin plans. The Coos Basin Plan incorporates appropriate portions of the above plans, and will be the primary document used to guide fishery management of the public resources in this basin. The Coos Basin Plan was developed through an advisory process that included ODFW staff and a citizen advisory committee representing a diversity of interests in the Coos Bay-North Bend area. This version of the management plan for fish and shellfish in the Coos River basin serves two purposes, 1) to record ongoing management, and 2) to guide future directions that deviate from traditional or historical perspectives. And finally, the plan expresses views of future fishery needs in the Coos River basin. This plan is not the final or definitive statement of fish management in the Coos River basin. The plan will be reviewed every two years by ODFW and members of the public to evaluate progress in achieving its objectives, to modify the plan where necessary, and to set priorities for carrying out the plan for the following two years. The scope of this plan is very broad. In addition to including species because of their potential for recreational and commercial fisheries, the plan also addresses lesser-known species that are an important part of the Coos River basin fauna, including some which comprise the major food sources for the economically important species (APPENDIX A). Their well-being is important to the system as a whole, and they act as indicators of changes in the system. Mammals, birds, and amphibians, which also interact with the rest of the system, are beyond the scope of this plan; however, their role in fisheries management will not be ignored.
