Endangered and Threatened Species; Take of Anadromous Fish
§ 01 Summary
NMFS announces the availability of its evaluation and recommended determination for a Hatchery and Genetics Management Plan covering a summer-run chum salmon hatchery program in the Dungeness River basin. The determination supports implementing the WDFW/Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe program by finding it will not appreciably reduce survival or recovery of listed Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, or Puget Sound steelhead, nor adversely modify critical habitat.
§ 02 Why this matters
The notice does not impose broad new regulatory duties, but NMFS's ESA determination affects whether the specified hatchery program can receive coverage for take associated with rearing and releasing salmon. Compliance impact is limited to operating the program consistent with the HGMP and NMFS's ESA evaluation.
