Summary
The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife teamed up on plans to raise and release salmon in the Dungeness River. After a careful check, NMFS says these hatchery programs won’t hurt the chances of salmon survival or their homes. This means the programs can move forward without messing up endangered fish recovery efforts.

Hatchery Plans Approved for Dungeness River
The National Marine Fisheries Service evaluated three hatchery programs that rear and release Chinook, coho, and pink salmon in the Dungeness River basin. NMFS determined that implementing those hatchery and genetics management plans will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery or modify or destroy critical habitat of Puget Sound Chinook salmon or Puget Sound steelhead, allowing the co-managers’ programs to move forward.
