Proposed Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan Proposed Recovery Plan For Lake Ozette Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Photo by: Mike Young Photo by: Mike April 14, 2008 NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service Northwest Regional Office Salmon Recovery Division DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, State agencies, contractors, and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the NMFS. They represent the official position of NMFS only after they have been signed by the Northwest Regional Administrator. Recovery Plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new information, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

We would like to thank the Lake Ozette Steering Committee for its input, support, and guidance throughout the planning process. Steering Committee members provided valuable comments during three previous draft versions of the recovery plan. In addition, the Puget Sound Technical Recovery Team was instrumental in providing a sound science foundation for the plan, as well as reviewing and commenting on earlier draft versions. And we thank the five biologists who co-authored the draft Limiting Factors Analysis, which provides essential information for designing recovery actions and monitoring.

NMFS reviewers of the plan were: Elizabeth Gaar, Rob Walton, Laurie Beale, Susan Pultz and Naomi Lundberg. Finally, the authors would like to recognize all those who have worked over the years to conserve Lake Ozette sockeye salmon. This proposed recovery plan builds on their dedication and their effort to preserve this species for the citizens of Washington and the nation.

  • British Columbia
    BRITISH COLUMBIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA British Columbia Canada's most westerly province, British Columbia is huge and diverse. If you love the great outdoors, you'll never be bored in a province that is so beautiful, with such variation, and with so many opportunities for hiking, rafting, sailing and skiing, to name just a few. British Columbia is studded with breathtakingly beautiful mountains that puncture vast, blue skies. You'll also find long stretches of rugged coastline, sandy beaches, wineries, orchards, forests and snowmelt-fed lakes. There is even Canada's only desert: Osoyoos, in the southern Okanagan, which is home to rattlesnakes, scorpions and prickly pear cacti. If you're seeking unspoiled wilderness, then British Columbia is the perfect province to lose yourself in. If you want company, however, there are plenty of modern and lively cities and towns in British Columbia. Vancouver has scores of galleries, museums and bars. But even in Vancouver you're never too removed from nature: the city contains Canada's largest city park, Stanley Park.

  • Big River Timber and Recreation Tract Near Lake Ozette Clallam County, Washington
    Ozette Lake Olympic National Park Hoko Ozette Road Big River Cranberry Road N 102 - Big River Timber and Recreation Tract near Lake Ozette Clallam County, Washington PUBLISHED RESERVE: $465,000 / $1,913 per Acre LAST ASKING: First Time Offered SIZE: 243± Acres ELEVATION: 70 to 110± Feet ZONING: Commercial Forest (CF) PROPERTY INSPECTION: Access Permit Required - Please Contact Auction Information Ofce at [email protected] or 1-800-845-3524 for Access Permit and Gate Combination FINANCING: None – All Cash DESCRIPTION: The 243± acre Big River Timber and Recreation Tract is located along the Olympic Peninsula’s remote western rim, three miles northwest of Ozette Lake. It has road frontage along Hoko Ozette Road, which connects north to Highway 112 at Clallam Bay, and Big River and Trout Creek. Both are tributaries to Ozette Lake, Washington’s third largest natural lake. There are 120± acres of primarily well-stocked 16 to 20± year old western hemlock, which is projected to contain an estimated 2,180 MBF within 20 years, providing signicant long-term asset growth. An estimated 50% of the property is mostly RMZ, and unavailable for timber management. There are no RMAP obligations for the Big River Tract. The entirety of the tract, 100%, is western hemlock Site Class III. The tract has some recreation and conservation potential due to frontage on Big River and Trout Creek, including potential camping or RV sites between Hoko Ozette Road and Big River in the southeast section of the ownership. Clallam County zoning on adjoining lands east of the ownership is R-20.
