Summary

The Proposed Action is to adopt a harvest control rule to identify appropriate impact levels to LCR coho from Council-managed salmon fisheries beginning in 2015. This harvest control rule would be used in a biological opinion conducted under section 7 of the ESA, and would be used in guidance to the Council in developing annual management measures for ocean salmon fisheries.
