RECOMMENDATIONS 

 (PARTIAL LIST ONLY) 



Management 



• Manage salmonid populations fo annually meet numerical spawning escapement goals and 

 to keep harvest rates at levels that will perpetuate the fisheries. 



• Continue to restrict mixed-stock fisheries and to promote and support terminal fisheries. 



• Continue and expand hatchery production programs that are complementary to wild fish 

 populations. 



• Expand programs to determine the current degree of salmonid predation and competition by 

 marine mammals (seal and sea lion) and American shad, and evaluate potential measures. 



Forestry 



• Continue research effort under the Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Agreement (TFW) and modify 

 forest practices regulations as indicated by the results. 



• Actively manage degraded riparian zones, including cattle grazing lands, to encourage 

 development or characteristics that will promote the reestablishment of a productive habitat. 



• Establish a cooperative effort between state agencies and forest landowners to identify, 

 prioritze and solve problems related to past forest practices, including: 



• Culverts hindering upstream passage of fish 



• Abandoned roads in unstable areas 



• Road surface drainage entering fish-bearing streams 

 Agriculture 



• Institute management regulations that contain stream and riparian protection rules. 



• Achieve fish-screening protection, especially at pumped water diversions. 



• Encourage irrigation water conservation and work to increase instream water for solmonids. 

 Municipal-Industrial 



• Encourage water conservation for municipalities and industries. 



• Manage stream-based water quality, including waste load allocations for both point and 

 nonpoint sources. 



Hydropower 



• Improve technologies to minimize operational impacts of hydroelectric projects. 

 Dredge, Fill, and Flood Control 



• Prevent further river and estuary habitat losses. 

 Mining 



• Regulate and minimize aggregate extraction from all anadromous salmonid rivers 

 and streams.
