Extractions: Home 2002 News Releases Date: July 25, 2002 Evidence indicates that populations of coho salmon are recovering along Californias North Coast, and the California Farm Bureau Federation urges the state Fish and Game Commission not to list the fish as an endangered or threatened species. In comments filed with the commission, the Farm Bureau said a state listing for coho salmon is not warranted. It disagrees with the state Department of Fish and Game, which has recommended listing coho salmon as threatened from the Oregon border south to Punta Gorda in Humboldt County, and as endangered from Punta Gorda south to San Francisco Bay. The Farm Bureau says the departments status review acknowledges a lack of rigorous, qualitative and quantitative science about the coho salmon, yet recommends that the species be listed. "Listing of the coho as an endangered or threatened species will place additional regulatory burdens on landowners," the Farm Bureau said. "The scientific framework to support such a listing decision should be absolutely unquestionable prior to the placement of those burdens on the private citizens of our state." The comments say a state listing of coho salmon will greatly hamper the ability of farmers and ranchers to maintain economically viable and environmentally friendly operations.

Many people here relate to salmon the same way the nation does to bald eagles. There are numerous species of salmon in the Puget Sound, two of which are considered threatened in Kitsap County. They are Hood Canal Summer Chum and Puget Sound Chinook. Threatened is a term used by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), a federal law designed to prevent plants and animals from becoming extinct. Canary in a Coal Mine Canary in a Coal Mine Certain species are important in determining the ability of other species to persist. Coal miners used this concept to stay alive on the job. They brought a canary into the mine with them; once they canary died of toxic fumes it was time for miners to get out and breath fresh air. Just as canaries were indicators of their environment, the number of returning salmon indicates to us the quality of our nearby streams and shorelines.

Extractions: considered endangered. The Clinton Administration expects the move to encourage successful state and local salmon conservation efforts in the Pacific Northwest. People not nature have created the conditions that have affected the health of these fish. The endangered species listings are the result of such factors as land-use and water-development projects that degrade watershed and stream conditions critical to salmon survival, habitat loss, over-harvesting, dam construction and operation, and certain hatchery practices. "Our goal here is to restore salmon," said Department of Commerce Secretary William M. Daley. "But we know that we cannot accomplish that alone. As we have all said repeatedly, extinction is not an option! We want to work together with state and local officials to preserve, for future generations, healthy salmon stocks along with clean and productive rivers and streams." "One of our greatest challenges is to restore the great salmon runs of the Pacific Northwest to sustainable levels," said Terry Garcia, assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere. "Healthy salmon resources are essential to the economic health and prosperity of the region."

Extractions: Urban lands make up about 2 percent of the land base in Washington state, and most of them are located in the Puget Sound region. This 2 percent also encompasses prime spawning, rearing and migratory habitats for threatened salmon and steelhead. In March 1999 the Puget Sound Region began to address the impact of having a federally protected species in our backyards. Fifteen months later, where are we? Puget Sound Chinook are listed as threatened On March 24, 1999 the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) was listed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). NMFS identified widespread habitat modification as one factor contributing to the decline of the Chinook. The ESU includes all naturally spawning populations of Chinook salmon from rivers and streams flowing into Puget Sound. The listing set into motion a process which, like it or not, will fundamentally affect the way Puget Sound residents live, work, and make use of real property. "Take" prohibition The ESA prohibits any activity which will result in the "taking" of an endangered species. "Taking" is broadly defined under the statute and NMFS' regulations, and has been broadened even further by the United States Supreme Court's construction of the statute and regulations.

Extractions: What is the Endangered Species Act and how does it affect Clark County? The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was adopted by Congress in 1973 to help protect and recover fish, wildlife, and plants that are in danger of extinction. The ESA requires federal action to stop or change activities that cause species to become extinct. Because fish populations are rapidly declining throughout the Northwest, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), under provisions of the ESA, has listed several fish species as threatened. In Clark County, these include chinook chum steelhead , and bull trout . Cutthroat trout might be listed in the near future. Unless immediate steps are taken to reverse their decline, these fish will next be listed as endangered, meaning extinction is likely soon. NMFS and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) share responsibility for administering the ESA. In the case of salmon and steelhead, NMFS is accountable under the ESA to provide broad-brush emergency protection until effective local protections are ready to take its place. USFWS is responsible for administering the listings for bull trout and will likely be responsible for cutthroat too if they become listed. The ESA states that it is unlawful for anyone to "take" (i.e., kill or harm) endangered or threatened species and their habitats. The 4(d) rule, so called because its requirements and guidelines are found in Section 4(d) of the ESA, identifies actions related to threatened species that are "limitations" or exceptions to how the general ESA rule is enforced. An action may be exempt from enforcement under the rule if it adequately protects or conserves the listed species. If the rule is violated, the federal penalty may be as much as $50,000 and a prison term as long as one year.
Wild Atlantic Salmon In Maine Protected As Endangered Species The wild population of Atlantic salmon found in the eight rivers in Maine are ifit is discrete and significant, and found to be endangered or threatened. http://northeast.fws.gov/newsrel/asalmon2.html
Extractions: Wild Atlantic salmon in Maine rivers are at an all-time low and face a number of threats that could drive them to extinction. As a result, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service today announced they are listing the species as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. USFWS/William W. Hartley For More Information: Import, Export and Sale of Maine Atlantic Salmon More on Atlantic Salmon The listing covers the wild population of Atlantic salmon found in rivers and streams in Maine from the lower Kennebec River north to the U.S.-Canada border. These include the Dennys, East Machias, Machias, Pleasant, Narraguagus, Ducktrap, and Sheepscot rivers and Cove Brook. Although significant progress has been made under the State of Maine's conservation plan, disease and other threats remain, and the Act's protection is critical to ensure the survival of these salmon, said Jamie Rappaport Clark, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, and Penny Dalton, administrator of the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Extractions: Threatened and Endangered Species The following species are federally listed as threatened (T) or endangered (E). The species on this list are placed there by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the US National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). These agencies are responsible for evaluating candidate species and determining if the species are in danger of going extinct (threatened) or on the brink of extinction (endangered). FWS is responsible for the species that reside on the continent, while NMFS addresses species that spend all or part of there life at sea in US waters. FEMA is required to follow all federal laws, includeing the endangered species act. To this end FEMA will not fund any project that adversely impacts threatened / endangered species, or their habitat. The environmental review is in place to make sure that this dosent happen.
