Description

Abstract: This is the fourth in a series of individual species plans concerning management of anadromous salmonid populations in the state of Oregon. This plan focuses on the actions the agency will take regarding chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha populations produced in Oregon Coastal watersheds from the Necanicum River in the north to the Winchuck River at the Oregon-California border. Management of chinook salmon in the Columbia River basin is shaped by a cooperative agreement with the state of Washington, the Columbia River Treaty Indian Tribes, and the Federal Government. This management plan for wild and hatchery coastal chinook salmon in coastal river basins is the product of an ongoing planning process. The process began with the preparation of a report that contains descriptions of the life histories and assessments of recent trends in the run strengths of chinook salmon stocks in Oregon coastal river basins (Nicholas and Hankin 1988). ODFW staff and public representatives developed a comprehensive list of issues of concern and actions needed to improve management of coastal chinook salmon. These actions were based in part on a review of historic and contemporary habitat, harvest, and enhancement management practices in Oregon and on a review of the fisheries scientific literature.

Purpose: Summarizes major actions completed under the coastal Chinook management plan and the remaining actions to be accomplished.
