Pierce County ESA Response Report The response by Pierce County in Washington State to the listing of wild salmon as threatened under the endangered species act. http://www.salmoninfo.org/tricounty/piercesummary.htm
Extractions: Executive Summary Pierce County ESA Response March 16, 1999 Contents: Section One - Background In mid-March 1999 the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) plans to list Puget Sound chinook salmon as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The NMFS has proposed to designate all rivers and streams historically accessible to Puget Sound Chinook salmon as critical habitat. In addition, NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have indicated that bull trout and other salmonid species may be listed in the near future. The Pierce County region is fully committed to do its part to ensure functional habitats needed to sustain healthy salmon populations are available. The region recognizes that full recovery will require a concerted long-term effort by the local, state, and federal governments, special interest groups and broad support by County residents. Addressing the factors responsible for the decline in salmonid habitats is likely to require important changes in land use policies, regulatory functions, programs, and services in order to preserve existing habitat and as well as habitat restoration projects. Pierce County government has worked closely with other jurisdictions to develop a strategy for preserving and restoring salmon habitat (see Section Two). This strategy has three main components: Rigorous implementation of the existing local regulations and programs that protect and enhance salmonid habitat.

Extractions: Line Art (3.6 K image) Line Art (3.6 K image) [US FWS Line Art by Robert Savannah] The upriver salmon migration is one of nature's most exciting dramas. But to the five species of Pacific salmon (chinook, chum, coho, pink, and sockeye), it is a long, strenuous, desperate race against time, with every obstacle taking its toll. Pacific salmon belong to a group called anadromous fish that includes Atlantic salmon, sturgeon, lampreys, shad, herring, sea- run cutthroat trout, and steelhead trout. These species hatch and live the first part of their lives in fresh water, then migrate to the ocean to spend their adult lives, which may be as short as 6 months or as long as 7 years. When they reach sexual maturity, they return to the freshwater stream of their origin to lay their eggs. Pacific salmon make the round trip only once, but some Atlantic salmon may repeat the cycle several times. Migration between fresh and salt water occurs during every season of the year, depending on latitude and genetic characteristics of the fish. Groups of fish that migrate together are called runs or stocks. Salmon spawn in virtually all types of freshwater habitat, from intertidal areas to high mountain streams. Pacific salmon may swim hundreds, even thousands, of miles to get back to the stream where they hatched. However, only a small percentage of salmon live to reach their natal stream or spawning grounds. Those males that survive the trip are often gaunt, with grotesquely humped backs, hooked jaws, and battle-torn fins. The females are swollen with a pound or more of eggs. Both have large white patches of bruised skin on their backs and sides.

Subscribe to Page Updated 07/02 Contents Currently there are 19 populations of salmon, steelhead, and trout listed as endangered or threatened in the state of Washington. In March of 1999 the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) listed seven Washington salmon populations as "endangered" or "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act. This action brought the total of endangered salmon and steelhead listings by NMFS in Washington to 13. NMFS had listed six others between 1992 and 1999. In addition, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) added two populations of Bull Trout in November 1999 to four it had listed in 1998. Response to Salmonid Delisting Petitions Announced , NMFS.

Subscribe to Page Updated 01/02 The following list includes some of the significant federal laws relating to protection of salmon and other fish species: The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 to establish a program to identify and conserve species of fish, wildlife, and plants that are declining in population to the point where they are now, or maybe within the foreseeable future, at the risk of extinction. The ESA prohibits killing or harming an endangered species in any way, including significant modification of critical habitat for the species. It requires federal agencies to develop programs to conserve and to help recover endangered and threatened species. Under the ESA, a species likely to become extinct in the foreseeable future is categorized as "endangered"; one likely to become endangered is categorized as "threatened."

Endangered Species Act And HCPs Regulations for a threatened species may be less restrictive than if it were endangered;the difference is likely to be minor for Puget Sound Chinook salmon. http://www.metrokc.gov/exec/esa/summary.htm
Extractions: A summary The purpose of the Endangered Species Act is "to provide a means whereby the ecosystems upon which endangered and threatened species depend may be conserved, and to provide a program for the conservation of these species." The Act defines three fundamental terms as follows: Five sections of the Act are of critical importance to understanding it: Section 4: Listing of a species The National Marine Fisheries Service is responsible for listing Chinook salmon and other sea-going and marine species; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for listing terrestrial and freshwater aquatic species. The agencies may initiate reviews for listings; citizens may also petition for them. A listing must be made "solely on the basis of the best scientific and commercial data available". After proposing a listing, agencies receive comment and conduct further scientific reviews for 12 to 18 months, after which they must decide if a listing is warranted. Economic impacts cannot be considered in this decision, but it may include an evaluation of the adequacy of local and state protections. Critical habitat for the species may be designated at the time of listing.

Extractions: The global extinction crisis rivals global warming in its magnitude, urgency, and monumental implications for human health and welfare. Extinction is irreversible, and is now happening at a breakneck pace: across the globe, between one and 100 species are becoming extinct every day. The natural "background" rate of extinction is only one species per 100 years. Species loss signals a potential risk to humans as well as to animals and plants. More sensitive animals those that fill highly specialized niches, require large tracts of undisturbed land, or breed slowly, for instance are the first to suffer from habitat loss, pollution, and other drastic human-induced changes. In time, as the food chain collapses, animals further up will also suffer including humans. Species populations can be revitalized if serious efforts are made. For instance, the California brown pelican like the bald eagle was seriously affected by the use of DDT, which weakened the bird's eggshells so that they cracked during incubation. With the banning of DDT and other toxic pesticides, the brown pelican population is slowly rebounding. Closer to home, the South Bay's fragile population of California clapper rails has rebounded in the past decade, climbing from between 200 and 300 in 1991 to an estimated 600 to 700 in 1999 as a result of controls on invasive species.
