Coho Salmon : Recovery Strategy : Origin and Milestones

• View Coho Salmon Recovery Tasks

 

In August, 2002 the California Fish and Game Commission issued a finding that coho salmon warranted listing as a threatened species from the Oregon border south to Punta Gorda and as an endangered species from Punta Gorda south to San Franciso including the Bay (south of San Francisco to Monterey Bay was listed by the State as endangered in 1995). The Commission directed the Department of Fish and Game to develop a Recovery Strategy.

Subsequently, the Director of the Department of Fish and Game initiated a multi-stakeholder statewide Coho Recovery Team (CRT) to make recommendations on components of a plan to recover the species. Additionally, a team was created to focus on agricultural water and land issues in the Shasta and Scott river valleys. This team is known as the Shasta-Scott Coho Recovery Team (SSRT).
