Two West Coast Coho Stocks Delisted
If you fish or rely on West Coast salmon, the rebuilding plans for Queets River natural coho salmon and Strait of Juan de Fuca natural coho salmon have been removed from federal regulation because those stocks have been rebuilt. The agency says these stocks are no longer required to be managed under a rebuilding plan, and fishing rules will change soon, which the document says will help fishermen and communities while keeping salmon healthy.
