Book Description
"This guidance document is designed to better assist those involved with salmon recovery in understanding the recovery monitoring needs and the associated level of certainty at the regional, local, and project levels. The recommendations included are for federal and state agencies, Indian tribes, local governments and watershed organizations participating within each evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) and distinct population segment (DPS) which are actively developing recovery plan monitoring programs, or are modifying existing monitoring. It is our intention that these recommendations will be considered as the desired level of monitoring to be conducted and will provide a consistency across recovery domains. Recommendations include monitoring that addresses all of the viable salmonid population (VSP) criteria and the listing factors and threats. Following are specific NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recommendations for monitoring, data collection, and reporting ESA information. The recommendations are not listed in order of importance, but by the logical chapters of the document. The recommendations are based upon scientific information available, but include policy decisions for what standard is attainable and reasonable. The relative importance of each recommendation is left to the reader to determine based upon their own circumstances and biological and physical conditions. This document is not intended as a step by step process to de-list a species."--Executive summary.

Book Description
Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead populations were once the world's largest. Before 1550, an estimated 16 million salmon and steelhead returned to the basin annually to spawn. Over the past 25 years, however, the number of salmon and steelhead returning to the Columbia River Basin has averaged around 660,000 per year, although annual population levels have varied widely. Various factors have contributed to the long-term decline including over-harvesting, the construction and operation of dams, the degradation of spawning habitat, increased human population, and unfavorable weather and ocean conditions. The population decline has resulted in the listing of 12 salmon and steelhead populations in the basin as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Once a species is listed as threatened or endangered, the ESA requires that efforts be taken to allow the species to recover. The Department of Commerce's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is the lead agency responsible for the recovery of the threatened or endangered populations of Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead. The recovery of a species entails the development and implementation of a plan for the species' conservation and survival. The ESA also requires other federal agencies to consult with NMFS before they take any action that may jeopardize the continued existence of listed salmon or steelhead populations in the Columbia River Basin. You asked us to (1) identify the roles and responsibilities of the federal agencies involved with the recovery of Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead, (2) determine how much they have spent collectively on recovery efforts, and (3) determine what recovery actions they have undertaken and what they have accomplished.
