OAR 635-500-5060: Coho Salmon

Policy and objectives for coho salmon management in the Yachats River Basin. (1) Policy: The Yachats River Basin shall be managed for production of naturally produced coho salmon. (2) Objectives: (a) Recover the Yachats River Basin naturally produced coho population consistent with the two measurable criteria for dependent populations contained in OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon). (b) Recover Yachats River Basin naturally produced coho sufficiently to prevent restrictions on fisheries targeting other species or fin clipped hatchery coho, and sufficiently to provide for future harvest in the Yachats River Basin consistent with OAR 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon).
