Section 635-500-4870 - Coho Salmon

Policies and objectives for coho salmon management in the Alsea River Basin.

(1) Policies: The Alsea River Basin shall be managed for naturally produced coho production with an option for a hatchery program consistent with provisions in OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon).

(2) Objectives:

(a) Recover the naturally produced coho population in the Alsea River Basin consistent with the six measurable criteria for desired status contained in OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon);

(b) Recover Alsea River Basin naturally produced coho salmon sufficiently to prevent restriction on fisheries targeting other species or fin clipped hatchery coho, and sufficiently to provide for future harvest in the Alsea River Basin consistent with OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon).
