Description

Abstract: The Fish Management Policy of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife directs that fish management plans will be prepared for each basin or management unit. The Fish Management Plan for the Grande Ronde River Basin (hereafter referred to as the Grande Ronde River Basin Plan or the Plan) is just one part of the overall planning effort of the ODFW. Individual species plans contain statewide policies and guidelines, and provide general direction for writing basin plans. The Grande Ronde River Basin Plan incorporates appropriate portions of the above plans, and will be the primary document used to guide fishery management of the public resource in this basin. The Grande Ronde River Basin Plan was developed through an advisory process that included ODFW staff, tribal agencies, a committee of citizen advisors [Public Advisory Committee (PAC)] representing a diversity of interests in the basin, and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) with members representing several agencies including land management and tribal representation.

Purpose: The Fish Management Plan for the Grande Ronde River basin was developed to guide management of fish and their habitat in the Grande Ronde River basin. This written plan identifies objectives that will be implemented by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) within the basin. This plan also ranks the important activities. With a good understanding of the stated direction within the ODFW, priorities can be better and more easily accessed when developing biennial budgets, making routine work assignments, and decision making in crisis situations. By stating objectives for managing fisheries, fish populations, and habitat, the public and ODFW will have a better understanding of the direction being taken with these activities in the Grande Ronde River basin. The plan can also be used to inform other agencies of our objectives so that fishery considerations can be included when planning other land-use activities.
