Book Description
"Central California Coast (CCC) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) coho salmon are listed as endangered species under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) due to a precipitous and ongoing decline in their population. Since their initial listing in 1996 by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the population has continued to decline and the species is now very close to extinction. Under the ESA, a recovery plan (which is a non-regulatory document) must be developed and implemented for threatened or endangered species. The purpose of recovery plans is to provide a road map that focuses and prioritizes threat abatement and restoration actions necessary to recover, and eventually delist, a species"--Executive Summary.

Book Description
"The California Coastal Multispecies Recovery Plan was developed for three salmon and steelhead species: the California Coastal (CC) Chinook salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU), and the Northern California (NC) and Central California Coast (CCC) steelhead Distinct Population Segments (DPS). The purpose of a recovery plan is to provide a framework for the conservation and survival of the listed species [ESA section 4(f)(1)] that focuses and prioritizes threat abatement and restoration actions necessary to recover, and eventually delist, a species." -- NOAA web page.
A Framework for Assessing the Viability of Threatened and Endangered Salmon and Steelhead in the North-central California Coast Recovery Domain

Book Description
"The Technical Recovery Team (TRT) for the North-Central California Coast Recovery Domain has been charged with developing biological viability criteria for each listed Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) of salmon and Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of steelhead within the recovery domain. The viability criteria proposed in this report represent the TRT's recommendations as to the minimum population and ESU/DPS characteristics indicative of an ESU/DPS having a high probability of long-term (> 100 years) persistence. Our approach employs criteria representing three levels of biological organization: populations, diversity strata, and the ESU or DPS as a whole. Populations include both independent and dependent populations defined in Bjorkstedt et al. (2005), as modified in Appendix A of this report. Diversity strata are groups of geographically proximate populations that reflect the diversity of selective environments, phenotypes, and genetic variation across an ESU or DPS (Bjorkstedt et al. 2005). A viable ESU or DPS comprises sets of viable (and sometimes nonviable) populations that, by virtue of their size and spatial arrangement, result in a high probability of persistence over the long term. We provide background critical to understanding the context for viability criteria development in Chapter 1 of this report. Chapters 2 and 3 define viability criteria at the population and ESU/DPS levels, respectively. In Chapter 4, we apply the criteria to assess current viability, though with limited success due to the lack of appropriate, population-level time series of abundance. We emphasize that the focus of this document is looking forward to evaluating recovery, not assessment of current conditions"--Executive summary.

Guidance for Monitoring Recovery of Pacific Northwest Salmon & Steelhead Listed Under the Federal Endangered Species Act

Category : Pacific salmon
Languages : en
Pages :
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.
