Comprehensivce Hatchery Management Plan. Quilcene National Fish Hatchery

摘要

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has recognized the need for a comprehensive hatchery planning process to assist in meeting the challenge of changes to hatchery management required by the conservation status of most Pacific salmon and other anadromous and freshwater fish species. The development of plans such as this one will help to: 1) integrate Service objectives and priorities with those of co-managers, other agencies, and resource programs; 2) fulfill our obligations under the Endangered Species Act and relevant fisheries conservation, mitigation, and management programs; 3) identify and define in specifics what hatchery reforms we are implementing to achieve our objectives; and 4) provide a foundation for future program and budget development and review.
