A SchoolWorld Internet Education Project Endangered/Threatened Species Report Submitted by Instituto de Educación Secundaria de Cerdeño Oviedo, Asturias, Spain Atlantic Salmon Atlantic Salmon Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Description: The Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is often called "The king of the river" (which belongs to the genus Oncorhynchus) Salmon are fish that can be two metres long and more than forty kilograms in weight. Their muzzle is long, and they have a lot of teeth in their mouth. Their skin colour changes with the age and sex; when they are at rest the colour on the back is iron-blue and the belly is white, but when they go up the rivers, their back becomes dark. They have a voracious appetite and can swim very fast when they live in the sea, but when they go up the river, they do not eat until after they spawn, that is why they become weak. At the moment of their reproduction the salmon comes back to the river, where it was born, to the highest course, and there the females lay the eggs from November till December;. They make a pit in the stream gravel into which they lay thousands of eggs, and after that they cover them with sand from the bottom. Later, the males cover the eggs with seminal liquid during a week.

Keynote Speech: by Christine Gregoire Washington State Attorney General FOR PRESENTATION TO Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting Valley Doubletree Hotel, Spokane, WA Tuesday, September 12, 2000 noon Link to WA State Attorney General Website Contact Christine Gregorie Page 1 Thank you for the opportunity to speak today about the Endangered Species Act. Since at least 1991, with the listing of the Snake River Sockeye, you here in Eastern Washington have had this issue on your radar screens. So let me say at the outset that we are all in this together. That includes East Siders and West Siders, business people, environmentalists, property owners and government officials at all levels. All of us will have to shoulder some of the burden if we hope to rescue ourselves from an environmental precipice and avoid costly and potentially self-defeating litigation with the federal government. We have to look back over decades and countless events great and small to see the origins of this problem. When I was growing up in the Auburn valley in South King County, it seemed inconceivable that this state’s great runs of salmon and steelhead might one day become extinct. In those days, streams still teamed with spawning fish as thick as fleas on the back of a dog. I could ride my horse for miles over a rural landscape of farms and pastures and in the pre-dawn chill of winter mornings, see scores of hardy souls lining riverbanks, confident that their fishing poles would soon bend at the strike of a steelhead.

Biology Staff Directory The primary goal of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is to provide safe, efficient, dependable and environmentally responsible transportation facilities and services. The need to provide transportation for the state requires that WSDOT assume the role of developer. As a developer, the Department must obtain permits from federal, state and local agencies when projects pass through sensitive areas, such as wetlands or stream corridors, or have the potential to impact threatened or endangered species. As a state agency, WSDOT is committed to preserving, protecting and enhancing the state's natural resources. The biologists who work for WSDOT assist the agency in both of these important roles. Agency biologists are located in several WSDOT regions, as well as at the WSDOT Headquarters in Olympia. Headquarters biologists serve as an "on-call" resource to the regions. WSDOT biologists are involved in all stages of project development, from early planning to long-term maintenance activities. Some of the tasks WSDOT biologists are frequently involved in include project impact assessment, biological assessments for threatened and endangered plant or animal species, stream surveys, fish-passage assessment and enhancement, maintenance and evaluation of wildlife mortality data, interagency training and environmental research.

67. Salmon Fisheries In Alaska The NMFS Northwest Region has jurisdiction over the salmon species listedas endangered or threatened under the endangered species Act. http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/salmon/default.htm

ALASKA REGIONAL OFFICE Home Sustainable Fisheries Division Alaska Salmon Fisheries Management Salmon Fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska Salmon seiner in Southeast Alaska. Photo: State of Alaska The salmon fisheries in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off Alaska are managed under the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in the EEZ off the Coast of Alaska (salmon FMP). The salmon FMP allows a commercial troll fishery in the EEZ off Southeast Alaska, and closes the remaining EEZ off Central and Western Alaska to commercial salmon fishing. Through the salmon FMP, the NPFMC and NMFS intend to conserve and manage the salmon resources in the North Pacific Ocean. All other salmon fishing occurs either in state waters or in one of three historical State-managed net fishing areas that extend into the EEZ. The salmon FMP does not cover the fisheries in these three State managed fishing areas; Cook Inlet, Prince Williams Sound, and Alaska Peninsula. The salmon FMP defers management of the commercial troll fishery in Southeast Alaska to the State of Alaska and, under the Pacific Salmon Treaty, the U.S.-Canada Pacific Salmon Commission. The Southeast Alaska troll fishery is a mixed-stock, mixed-species fishery that primarily targets chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho salmon (O. kisutch), with pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), chum salmon (O. keta), and sockeye salmon (O. nerka) taken incidentally. The NMFS Northwest Region has jurisdiction over the salmon species listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

Skip to Content Protecting our Environment The current administration’s record on the environment has been disappointing. On most major issues — clean air, clean water, the protection of the public lands from commercial exploitation — President Bush retreated or signaled retreat from the policies of his predecessors. President Bush has filled nearly all the critical posts where policy is developed and regulations written with people who do not have conservation of our environment as a top priority and many who have earned their keep representing logging, mining, oil, livestock and other interests. It is up to Congress to protect the environment from exploitation and abuse. For example, the President's funding cut for EPA enforcement was included in the House version of H.R. 2620, the Fiscal Year 2002 VA-HUD and Independent Agencies appropriations bill. On the House floor Representative Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) offered an amendment to restore EPA funding and maintain its enforcement personnel. I voted for the Menendez amendment. Ultimately, funding for enforcement was restored to the previous year's level, and on November 26, 2001 President Bush signed it into law. I have been active in fighting for legislation on a number of fronts to protect endangered and threatened species, preserving public lands and forests, safeguarding our air and water, as well as working within my district and the State of California.

Credits Sea Otters in the Sanctuary A Reversing what had been a generally slow but positive growth trend, the California otter population began an apparent decline in 1994 that persists in 1998. (See Figure 1.) Sea Otter Survey Data Spring Fall Year Total Pups Total Pups PPI SPR% FAL% %Dead (PPI Pup Production Index; SPR%C % Change Total Otters, Spring; FALL%C % Change Total Otters, Fall; %DEAD % Dead as Percent of Spring Count) Survey counts can fluctuate from year to year without providing proof that the population is actually declining. However, there has been an overall decline of 11 percent between the Spring 1995 and Spring 1998 counts, a downward trend that has persisted for three years and appears real. If this rate of decline continues, the California sea otter population may qualify for an "endangered" listing under the ESA as early as the year 2000. Hand in hand with the decreased numbers from the surveys, and supporting the sense that the decline is indeed real, has been an increase in the number of dead otters recovered each year since around 1991 (shown in Figure 1 as a proportion of total otters counted the previous spring).

Species Listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 The authority to list species as threatened or endangered is shared by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is responsible for listing most marine species, and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), which administers the listing of all other plants and animals. There are two classifications under which a species may be listed. Species determined to be in imminent danger of extinction throughout all of a significant portion of their range are listed as "endangered." Species determined likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future are listed as "threatened." Further, distinct populations may be listed even if a species is abundant in other portions of its range. The criteria for endangerment must be based solely on biological evidence and the best scientific and/or commercial data available. Moreover, additions or deletions may be proposed by anyone who presents adequate evidence of the endangered status of a species.

Anyone who has is among a lucky few: all three Bay Area species are hovering on the brink of extinction. And they are not alone. The Bay Area's California clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse have also been almost completely wiped out. Species extinction has reached its highest rate since approximately 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs disappeared. In the Bay Area, the abundance of unique species is rivaled only by their precarious status. Findings * Based on June 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report. Next
