OAR 635-500-4050: Coho Salmon

Policy and objectives for coho salmon management in the mid-coast small ocean tributary streams. (1) Policy: Mid-coast small ocean tributary streams shall be managed for production of naturally produced coho salmon. (2) Objectives: (a) Recover the naturally produced coho population in the Beaver Creek Basin (ocean tributary seven miles south of Newport) consistent with the six measurable criteria for desired status contained in OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon); (b) Recover the Beaver Creek naturally produced coho salmon sufficiently to allow an in-river fishery on naturally produced coho salmon consistent with OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon); and (c) Recover the aggregate of dependent populations covered in this plan consistent with the two measurable criteria for the dependent populations contained in OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon).
