(5) Implement the Columbia River Basin Anadromous Fish 

 Habitat Management Policy and Implementation Guide. 



Implementation has been proceeding. Progress to date 

 on the four primary objectives of the Implementation 

 Guide has been substantial, although significant work 

 remains to be done. Forests have completed the 

 delineation of Forest watersheds. This year, Fiscal 

 Year 1993, Forests are concentrating on describing the 

 Desired Future Conditions for the watersheds, and 

 establishing consistent monitoring programs. Progress 

 on the remaining objectives, regarding public 

 involvement, coordination with other agencies, and the 

 development of an internal basin oversight group, also 

 has been good. 



The Forest Service has, through the CRB anadromous fish 



program, adopted the NWPPC overall strategy for the restoration 



of anadromous fish within the Columbia River Basin to meet the 



goal of doubling the number of fish returning to spawn. 



Outside the Columbia River Basin, there are numerous other 

 cooperative restoration efforts in which the Forest Service is 

 an active participant. In the State of Washington, we are 

 working with the U.S. Fish and .Wildlife Service (FWS) , State 

 and tribal agencies, conservation organizations, and industry 

 groups to restore watershed conditions in the Puget Sound area. 

 In northern California, we are working closely with the FWS, 

 the California Department of Fish and Game, Tribes and private 

 groups in restoration efforts within the Klamath River 

 drainage. In Oregon, we are involved in a number of community 

 based restoration efforts, such as those in the Rogue River 

 drainage.
