 reducing fallback through turbines. In addition, continuing a 

 predator removal program is likely to improve juvenile survival 

 as are dam modifications to improve juvenile passage. Also, 

 increased law enforcement activities improve adult survival (more 

 than double the amount for the base period) . 



Consultations on harvest actions managed by Federal, state, and 

 tribal authorities have decreased the number of listed salmon 

 that are captured in commercial, ceremonial and subsistence, and 

 recreational fisheries. Our participation in the U.S. -Canada 

 Pacific Salmon Commission has also resulted in reduced harvests 

 of listed salmon in Canadian fisheries. 



Consultations with land management agencies such as the United 

 States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management are conducted 

 on a watershed level basis. This ensures that the numerous 

 actions affecting the listed salmon's habitat are reviewed in a 

 comprehensive fashion. These consultations have resulted in 

 improved habitat conditions for the listed salmon. For example, 

 Federal agencies have adopted lower impact logging practices by 

 increasing stream buffer widths and using helicopter yarding 

 techniques on steep slopes. Federal grazing allotment management 

 practices in 1993 should reduce the mortality of the listed 

 salmon because streamside areas will receive better protection 

 from livestock, and in some cases, the number of livestock and 

 the number of days they may graze have been reduced.
