August 24, 2020 Larry Carpenter, Chairman Kelly Susewind, Director Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission 600 Capitol Way N 600 Capitol Way N Olympia, WA 98501 Olympia, WA 98501 [email protected] [email protected] RE: Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy (C-3620) Chairman Carpenter and Director Susewind: We have serious concerns with proposed changes to the Commission’s Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy (C-3620) that would undo efforts to enhance the conservation and selectivity of Columbia River salmon fisheries under the Oregon-Washington Columbia River reforms. The Commission’s recent actions to undermine the bi-state reforms by returning non-tribal gillnets to the mainstem lower Columbia River have been immensely unpopular with our constituents and comes as several salmon and steelhead populations are in steep decline. The actions have also cost the Department critical support from recreational anglers – a stakeholder group that is key to the long-term financial solvency of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Columbia River basin fisheries require careful, proactive management with 13 species of salmon and steelhead listed under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) along with federal requirements dictating the harvest or removal of excess hatchery fish as a condition of continued hatchery operations. These challenges have driven the transition to fishing methods more capable of selectively harvesting hatchery-reared salmon while also providing increased escapement of ESA-listed and weak wild stocks. By design, gillnets are ill-suited for meeting these challenges in the mainstem lower Columbia River’s mixed-stock fisheries where wild and ESA-listed salmon and steelhead are intermingled with fin-clipped hatchery-reared salmon. -
