Book excerpt: "Central California Coast (CCC) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) coho salmon are listed as endangered species under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) due to a precipitous and ongoing decline in their population. Since their initial listing in 1996 by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the population has continued to decline and the species is now very close to extinction. Under the ESA, a recovery plan (which is a non-regulatory document) must be developed and implemented for threatened or endangered species. The purpose of recovery plans is to provide a road map that focuses and prioritizes threat abatement and restoration actions necessary to recover, and eventually delist, a species"--Executive Summary.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Technical Recovery Team (TRT) for the North-Central California Coast Recovery Domain has been charged with developing biological viability criteria for each listed Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) of salmon and Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of steelhead within the recovery domain. The viability criteria proposed in this report represent the TRT's recommendations as to the minimum population and ESU/DPS characteristics indicative of an ESU/DPS having a high probability of long-term (> 100 years) persistence. Our approach employs criteria representing three levels of biological organization: populations, diversity strata, and the ESU or DPS as a whole. Populations include both independent and dependent populations defined in Bjorkstedt et al. (2005), as modified in Appendix A of this report. Diversity strata are groups of geographically proximate populations that reflect the diversity of selective environments, phenotypes, and genetic variation across an ESU or DPS (Bjorkstedt et al. 2005). A viable ESU or DPS comprises sets of viable (and sometimes nonviable) populations that, by virtue of their size and spatial arrangement, result in a high probability of persistence over the long term. We provide background critical to understanding the context for viability criteria development in Chapter 1 of this report. Chapters 2 and 3 define viability criteria at the population and ESU/DPS levels, respectively. In Chapter 4, we apply the criteria to assess current viability, though with limited success due to the lack of appropriate, population-level time series of abundance. We emphasize that the focus of this document is looking forward to evaluating recovery, not assessment of current conditions"--Executive summary.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This guidance document is designed to better assist those involved with salmon recovery in understanding the recovery monitoring needs and the associated level of certainty at the regional, local, and project levels. The recommendations included are for federal and state agencies, Indian tribes, local governments and watershed organizations participating within each evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) and distinct population segment (DPS) which are actively developing recovery plan monitoring programs, or are modifying existing monitoring. It is our intention that these recommendations will be considered as the desired level of monitoring to be conducted and will provide a consistency across recovery domains. Recommendations include monitoring that addresses all of the viable salmonid population (VSP) criteria and the listing factors and threats. Following are specific NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recommendations for monitoring, data collection, and reporting ESA information. The recommendations are not listed in order of importance, but by the logical chapters of the document. The recommendations are based upon scientific information available, but include policy decisions for what standard is attainable and reasonable. The relative importance of each recommendation is left to the reader to determine based upon their own circumstances and biological and physical conditions. This document is not intended as a step by step process to de-list a species."--Executive summary.

Book excerpt: "PacifCorp Energy is applying to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for an incidental take permit (ITP) under Endangered Species Act Section 10(a)(1)(B) for a 10-year period authorizing the incidental take of Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), which is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The ITP would require implementation of a Habitat Conservation Plan with measures to monitor, mitigate, and minimize effects of PacifiCorp's Klamath Hydroelectric Project on these listed coho salmon for this period. Two alternatives were analyzed in this EA: issuance by NMFS of an ITP for listed Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and the associated implementation of minimization and mitigation measures for coho salmon that would be implemented under an approved HCP (proposed action), or NMFS not issuing an ITP to PacifiCorp (no action alternative). The Proposed Action is likely to result in beneficial effects including improvements to salmonid populations and their habitat in the basin, potential for expanded prey base for fish-eating birds along the Klamath River mainstem, and improvements to employment opportunities for tribal and non-tribal workers in the basin. No significant adverse impacts to the human environment are expected as a result of the proposed action. The No Action alternative would in general not change the effects from those under current conditions, but continued degraded conditions in the Klamath River mainstem would occur with no mitigating actions taken to improve these degraded conditions. The preferred alternative for this EA is the proposed action"--Cover letter summary.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oregon Coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The fish spawn and rear in rivers, streams, and lakes along Oregon's coastline, from the Necanicum River near Seaside on the north to the Sixes River near Port Orford on the south (Figure S-1). NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) first listed Oregon Coast coho salmon as a threatened species under the ESA in 1998. NMFS relisted the species in 2008 and reaffirmed the listing in 2011. This recovery plan (Plan) provides guidance to improve the viability of the species to the point that it meets the delisting criteria and no longer requires ESA protection. Under ESA direction, we need to resolve threats to the species and ensure the long-term persistence of naturally selfsustaining populations in the wild. Recovery direction for Oregon Coast coho salmon has one central overriding theme: to protect and restore the freshwater and estuarine rearing habitats that support juvenile survival and overall productivity. The Plan builds on past and current efforts to restore the coho salmon. In particular, this plan calls for continued actions to repair the ecosystem processes that influence the health and stability of the rearing habitats for juvenile coho salmon. The actions will also benefit many other fish and wildlife species, and could provide aid to land owners and local communities"--Introduction.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ocean salmon fisheries off the West Coast states of California, Oregon, and Washington are managed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) under the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (PFMC 2014a). Management of the salmon stocks in the FMP can be affected when the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) lists evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) of Pacific salmon (Waples 1991) as either threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). If a fishery is expected to interact with ESA‐listed salmon (i.e., result in a "take" of an ESA‐listed species), NMFS initiates a formal consultation under section 7 of the ESA to evaluate fishery impacts, and issues a biological opinion to report the findings. In 2005, the Lower Columbia River coho salmon ESU (LCR coho) was ESA-listed as threatened (70 FR 37160, June 28, 2005). Biological opinions issued by NMFS, beginning in 2006, have analyzed the use of a harvest control rule to determine the allowable level of take of LCR coho in Council‐managed fisheries. In 2015, the Council recommended a new harvest control rule for consideration by NMFS (McIsaac 2015). This environmental assessment (EA) analyzes the environmental effects of implementing a new harvest control rule for LCR coho. The LCR coho ESU is synonymous with the Lower Columbia River natural coho stock (LCN coho) in the FMP. For consistency with NMFS documents, including biological opinions, this EA uses the ESU name, LCR coho, to refer to these salmon; LCN coho is used in relation to Council activities and documents"--Introduction [1.]

Download or read book Viability Assessment for Pacific Salmon and Steelhead Listed Under the Endangered Species Act Southwest written by Thomas H. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report from the Southwest Fisheries Science Center covers 10 ESA-listed Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) and Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) that lie wholly or partially in California. In this review, we consider 1) new information relevant to the delineation of ESU/DPS boundaries, and 2) new information on status and trends in abundance, productivity, spatial structure and diversity specifically addressed by viability criteria previously developed by Technical Recovery Teams (TRTs). These viability assessments summarize current information (through the 2014–2015 spawning year where available) with respect to the viability criteria developed by the TRTs. Consequently, the current assessments consider not only changes in populations that have occurred since the 2010 assessments but also the status of populations and ESUs/DPSs in relation to the viability criteria developed by the TRTs. For eight of the ESUs/DPSs (Southern Oregon/Northern California Coho Salmon, Central California Coast Coho Salmon, California Coastal Chinook Salmon, Northern California Steelhead, Central California Coast Steelhead, South-central California Steelhead, Southern California Steelhead, and California Central Valley Steelhead) the new information suggests that there has been no change in extinction risk since 2010 viability assessments. For two ESUs (Central Valley Spring-run Chinook Salmon, and Sacramento River Winter-run Chinook Salmon) the new information suggests a change in extinction risk. The viability of Central Valley Spring-run Chinook salmon appears to have improved since the 2010 assessment, but this ESU is far from being viable and is still facing relatively high extinction risk. The viability of Sacramento River Winter-run Chinook Salmon has been reduced and the ESU faces greater extinction risk since the 2010 assessment"--Executive summary.
