Abstract

NMFS announces that the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) has submitted Amendment 21 to the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for review by the Secretary of Commerce. If approved, Amendment 21 would set a Chinook salmon annual abundance management threshold below which the Council and NMFS would implement specific steps, through the annual ocean salmon management measures, to limit ocean salmon fishery impacts on Chinook salmon in order to increase salmon prey availability for endangered Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW).
