| Notes | This document is NOAA’s plan for threatened coho salmon on the Oregon coast. The goal is clear. “NMFS estimates that if the strategies and actions identified in this Plan are implemented in a timely manner, and marine survival is not too low, we will be able to delist Oregon Coast coho salmon within the next 10 years.” (p.S-10) Current limiting factors include poor water quality in streams and estuaries, lack of stream complexity (loss of wetlands, side channels and floodplains), loss of vegetation, and invasive species. The plan involves continuing work on habitat improvement, monitoring, and a new policy encouraging public-private partnerships in individual watersheds (Chapter 8). |
