Summary

The Washington Department of Wish and Wildlife and the Puget Sound Treaty Tribes are submitting a resource management plan (RMP) that is a 10-year framework for managing salmon and steelhead harvest in the Puget Sound area. The plan sets management measures around the Puget Sound Chinook ESU, which is listed as threatened in the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The NMFS Federal Action is to determine whether the RMP meets the requirements of ESA.
