Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds

Coastal Coho Project

The Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan represents an important step forward for the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds through implementation of the Native Fish Conservation Policy (NFCP). It gives Oregon the ability to implement a successful conservation program across the coast coho Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU).

The Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan’s purpose is to ensure the continued viability of the Oregon Coast Coho ESU and to achieve a desired status that provides substantial ecological and societal benefits.

Oregon Coastal Coho Assessment

The State of Oregon and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) are engaged in a collaborative project to address the conservation of coastal coho on the Oregon Coast. The primary objectives of the project are to:

Assess actions under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds to conserve and rebuild coastal coho populations.
Use the assessment to inform NOAA Fisheries' decision on listing coastal coho under the federal Endangered Species Act in summer 2005.
Use the assessment as a basis to seek legal assurances for local participants.
Use the assessment as a foundation for developing a conservation plan for coho consistent with the Oregon Plan and the state's Native Fish Conservation Policy, as well as federal recovery guidelines.
