SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Three natural coho stocks (Queets coho,
Strait of Juan de Fuca coho, and Snohomish coho) and two Chinook stocks
(Sacramento River fall Chinook and Klamath River fall Chinook) were
found to meet the criteria for being classified as overfished in the
PFMC Review of 2017 Ocean Salmon Fisheries. Under the tenets of the
Salmon Fishery Management Plan, the STT is required to develop a salmon
rebuilding plan for each of these stocks and propose them to the
Council within one year.
The STT, tribal, state, Federal, and other management entities are
working together to develop the salmon rebuilding plans. These meetings
are the third of a series of meetings, and will focus on the
development of potential recommendations to be included in each
rebuilding plan. Additional topics for discussion may include, but are
not limited to, outstanding data needs, data analysis, and economic
aspects to be included in each plan. One meeting will occur for each of
the five stocks; additional meetings will be scheduled as needed. These
meetings are open to the public. All meetings will have the same
webinar ID and access code.
Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to
take final action to address the emergency.

The meetings are physically accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids
