Regional Salmon Action Plan

 

 

REGIONAL SALMON PLAN "SCOPE"

All of Washington’s watersheds which drain directly into the Pacific Ocean between Cape Flattery in the north and Cape Disappointment in the south, together with their inland, estuarine and nearshore environments, lying within all or parts of Clallam, Jefferson, Grays Harbor, Pacific, Cowlitz, Mason and Lewis Counties.

 

DRAFT REGIONAL SALMON PLAN VISION

All watersheds in the Washington Coast Region contain healthy, diverse and self-sustaining populations of salmonids, maintained by healthy habitats and ecosystems, which also support the ecological, cultural, social, and economic needs of human communities.

 

KEY PLANNING PARTNERS

The Wild Salmon Center, with the generous support of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Community Salmon Fund, conducted a comprehensive Needs Assessment of the Region.  The goals of this process were to 1) describe the geographic, geological, social, cultural, fisheries, and fish-biological context for the region; 2) identify, synthesize and highlight major common gaps in relevant existing limiting factor assessments and action plans for salmon recovery/conservation for the region; and 3) recommend landscape-scale conservation actions among basins, building on existing prioritizations within basins.  Although still in DRAFT from, the report and data library can be viewed here.  This work will serve as a strong foundation for our Regional Salmon Plan.

We also formalized a relationship with The Nature Conservancy of Washington who has devoted staff time and planning expertise to help us craft our Salmon Plan following the Conservation Action Plan (CAP) process.

THE PROCESS: Where we are...

The Regional Planning Committee has been meeting every month since July to orchestrate developing the plan by bringing together all stakeholders and interested parties, utilizing the best science in consultation with the best salmon scientists, to 1) define the biological focal targets around which our salmon protection and restoration strategies can be built; to 2) identify stresses and assess the viability of these targets; to 3) identify critical threats; and 4) to develop strategies and objectives for action.

Our First Planning Workshop was held on December 8, 2009 at Lake Quinault Lodge.  A full day of lively discussion and hard work produced a set of eight Biological Focal Targets.  Read more about the First Workshop and the Focal Biological Targets Selected when we update this website shortly (Feb 15, 2010).
