Status Review of Puget Sound Steelhead (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-NWFSC-81 Status Review of Puget Sound Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) June 2007 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-NWFSC Series The Northwest Fisheries Science Center of the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, uses the NOAA Techni- cal Memorandum NMFS-NWFSC series to issue scientific and technical publications. Manuscripts have been peer reviewed and edited. Documents published in this series may be cited in the scientific and technical literature. The NMFS-NWFSC Technical Memorandum series of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center continues the NMFS- F/NWC series established in 1970 by the Northwest & Alaska Fisheries Science Center, which has since been split into the Northwest Fisheries Science Center and the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The NMFS-AFSC Techni- cal Memorandum series is now being used by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center.

  • Thank You for Participating in the Sportfishing Rule Development Process for 2006-2007
    State of Washington DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE Mailing Address: 600 Capitol Way N • Olympia, WA 98501-1091 • (360) 902-2200, TDD (360) 902-2207 Main Office Location: Natural Resources Building • 1111 Washington Street SE • Olympia, WA Dear Interested Party: Thank you for participating in the sportfishing rule development process for 2006-2007. The enclosed document, the Concise Explanatory Statement, is the final step in the adoption of the sportfishing rules. This document contains an explanation of all the rule proposals that were sent out for comment last fall, a summary of the testimony received on each proposal, and any modifications or additions made to the original proposals, as well as the staff recommendation and Commission action on each proposal. You were sent this document because you have participated in the sportfishing rule process in some way either this year or in the past; perhaps by requesting to be on the mailing list, sending in a proposal, attending a meeting, or submitting testimony. If you do not want to continue to receive mailings about this process, please either mail, call, or e-mail us at the numbers below. Because these documents are costly to mail, we would appreciate your letting us know if you are no longer interested. Another way you can help cut the cost of this process is to allow us to contact you be e-mail rather than US mail. If you were mailed this document but would be willing to receive future notifications by e-mail instead, please send us an e-mail to let us know.
