Your requests asked us to examine historical efforts to address declines in salmon runs. As agreed with your offices, we obtained from federal agencies and organizations in the Pacific Northwest the types of actions, and their costs, that have been taken to maintain and restore runs of salmon (both wild and hatchery-bred) on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. We also obtained the results of studies and research that have evaluated the effectiveness of the salmon recovery measures undertaken. On April 29,1992, we briefed your offices on the results of our work. This briefing report presents the information provided at that briefing. Separately,you also asked that we examine available assessmentsof the likely economic impacts of future actions being considered to protect the salmon species listed under the Endangered SpeciesAct. We plan to report on the results of our work on this matter later this year. In summary: . Federal agenciesand regional organizations have taken numerous actions and incurred substantial costs for more than 60 years to maintain and improve salmon runs in the Columbia River Basin. l The cost of actions taken, as reported by federal and regional entities, is signiilcan~since 1981over $1.3 billion (adjusted to 1991dollars) has been spent. Substantial costs were also reported as being incurred prior to 1981,but becausethe cost data were generally not identified by the year incurred, we could not calculate total costs in 1991dollars. (Apps. I and II provide a detailed breakdown of reported costs by organization for the postc1981and pre-1981time periods, respectively.) . Actions taken have included the construction and operation of fish hatcheries; the construction of fLshladders and other facilities at Page 1 GAO/WED-@2-172BB Endangered Salmon B-248261 Columbia and SnakeRiver dams to assistsalmon in their migration to and from the sea;improvements to salmon habitat; and research related to learning more about salmon or to assessand improve salmon runs.’ l Regional efforts intensified following enactment of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and ConservationAct in 1980,which required that assistancebe provided for fmh and wildlife resources affected by power-generating facilities at Columbia River Basin dams, l The effectivenessof actions taken to maintain and improve salmon runs, according to evaluationsperfor med by a number of federal, state, and regional organizations,indicate that some actions taken have been effective in helping certain types of salmon at specific locations. But the evaluations either did not address or were inconclusive regarding the effectivenessof actions from a Columbia River Basin-wideperspective. For example: l Hatchery operations have generally been viewed as successfulby organizationsin the Pacific Northwest. For example, about 250 million juvenile salmon were produced by hatcheries in 1933,compared with hatchery production of about 76 million in 1960.However, some studies have found that hatchery-produced salmon have had a negative impact on wild salmon runs, For example, in 1991NMFS found that lower Columbia River wild coho salmon was no longer a distinct species becauseof interbreeding with hatchery-produced salmon. The effectivenessof facilities to assist salmon in their migrations has varied. For example,studies have found that the effectivenessof fish screensinstalled at dams to divert juvenile salmon away from electric power turbines differed by dam location and type of salmon. Efforts to transport juvenile salmon past dams in tank trucks or barges have worked well for some but not all salmon species.For example, transportation was more effective for steelheadtrout than for spring chinook salmon. l Similarly, studies of the effectiveness of improved salmon habitat ’ showed varying results. For example, one study reported increased salmon density in a river basin where habitat improvementswere made, while another study found that a similar habitat improvement in the same general area had not increased salmon density. (App. V lists the research studies we cite in this report.) In conducting our review, we contacted 132federal and state agencies, electric utilities, timber companies,Indian tribes and organizations,and ‘Appendix III presents statistics on historical salmon runs into the Columbia River from 1970through 1990.

As agreed with your offices, we did not obtain written commentson a draft of this briefing report from the organizations involved. We did, however, discussthe information contained in this briefing report with responsible officials of the major agenciesinvolved, including representativesof the Office of Power Salesand the F’ishand Wildlife Division of the Department of Energy’sBonneville Power Administration; U.S.Army Corps of Engineersheadquarters officials, the North Pacific Division Commanderand his staff, and representativesof the Portland District; the Acting Northwest Regional Director and the Division Chief, Environmental and Technical ServicesDivision, NMFS; the Columbia River Coordinator, Department of the Interior’s U.S. F’ishand Wildlife Service; and the Executive Director and staff, Pacific Northwest Electric Power and ConservationPlanning Council (an interstate planning agency).These officials generally agreed with the factual information presented; on the basis of their comments,we have made changesas appropriate. Section 1 of this briefing report provides background and a discussionof the objectives, scope, and methodology of our work. Section 2 identifies actions taken to maintain and restore Columbia River Basin salmon runs, as well as the costs associatedwith the actions, Section 3 describes studies made and researchperfor med to assessthe effectivenessof actions taken.

  • Ecosystem Use by Indigenous People in an Oregon Coastal Landscape
    3220 Donald B. Zobel, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331- 2902 e-mail: [email protected] Ecosystem Use by Indigenous People in an Oregon Coastal Landscape Abstract Data regarding probable uses of biological materials by the indigenous people of the Salmon River-Cascade Head area of the Oregon coast were used to estimate the peoples use of various ecosystems near villages. Of 308 uses identified, 256 were attributable to a given species; 124 species were identified. All local ecosystems were important sources of organisms for the people, with no apparent concentration of highly used species in any particular ecosystem. One species was cultivated, one domesticated, and five acquired by trade. Four major plant resources, camas, yew, hazel, and beargrass, are not known from the Cascade Head landscape, but may have been available from elsewhere in village territory. House construction without use of cedar planks, as indicated by ethnographic records, may have resulted from the paucity of western redcedar in the Salmon River lowlands. The scarcity of several widely used taxa near coastal village sites, especially western redcedar, may have limited the wealth of this indigenous population, even on the resource-rich Oregon coast. Introduction Tillamook, who resided near Cascade Head on the north-central Oregon Coast, in an area where Indigenous people used resources primarily from information about historic and modern plant and the landscape in which they resided. The natural animal species distribution is unusually complete. distribution of resources governed the pattern and The list of taxa used was compared to historic richness of their lives.

  • The Spirit of the Tillamook People by Brian D
    The Spirit of the Tillamook People By Brian D. Ratty © 2016 The terrain of the Northwest Coastline is rugged and untamed, in many ways as forbidding as the natives that flourished on its shore. This narrow strip of land was home to dozens of different Indian nations. Just south of Tillamook Bay were many other nations, including the Siletz and the Siuslaw, while to the north were the Clatsop and Chinook tribes. Unlike most inland Indians, these nations didn’tnomadically follow game or move with the seasons. Instead, they stayed close to the bays and the sea, establishing permanent homes and villages. Within each Indian nation there were tribes, and within these tribes there were bands, and within these bands there were different clans. Each nation lived to the dictates of the resources Mother Nature provided, and their ability to hunt and gather food. When Captain Robert Gray discovered Tillamook Bay in 1788, the Tillamook nation numbered roughly 2,200 natives. These people lived in nine different villages, from the Nestucca River in the south to the Nehalem Bay in the north. The largest Tillamook village was Kilharhurst, which occupied the land that is the present-day site of Garibaldi, Oregon. The river next to this village was called Kilharnar, known today as the Miami River. This village had about fifty lodges and five hundred inhabitants. Over time, the Tillamooks assumed most of the customs, habits and dress of their powerful neighbors to the north, the Chinooks. Although both nations spoke the Salish language, their dialects were so different that, when they talked, they had to sign, as well.

The Mountain of a Thousand Holes Shipwreck Traditions and Treasure Hunting on Oregon’s North Coast CAMERON LA FOLLETTE, DENNIS GRIFFIN, AND DOUGLAS DEUR EURO-AMERICANS in coastal communities conflated and amplified Native American oral traditions of shipwrecks in Tillamook County, increasingly focusing the stories on buried treasure. This focus led to a trickle, and then a procession, of treasure-seekers visiting the northern Oregon coast, reach- ing full crescendo by the mid to late twentieth century. The seekers’ theo- ries ranged from the fairly straightforward to the wildly carnivalesque, with many bizarre permutations. Neahkahnie Mountain and its beaches became the premier treasure-hunting sites in Oregon, based on the mountain’s prominence in popular lore, linked to unverified stories about the wreck of a Spanish ship.

  • Nehalem Water Trail
    tillamook county water trail OREGON nehalem WelcomeWelcome to to the the NehalemNehalem Stretching for 118 miles, the Nehalem River flows through dense forests before quietly meandering by green pastures and small towns on its way to the Pacific Ocean. The Nehalem segment of the Tillamook County Water Trail tracks much of this course, from the lower reaches of the Coast Range to the communities of Nehalem and Wheeler. Through this guidebook and map we invite you to experience the abundance and diversity of the Nehalem watershed, while following the same routes as those once used by the area’s native populations. Few places in the world boast the peace and beauty of the Oregon Coast, so gather up your gear and head out for a trip on the beautiful Nehalem Water Trail. Nehalem Spit & Bay Don Best Tillamook County Water Trail - The Vision The Tillamook County Water Trail encourages the quiet exploration and discovery of the ecological, historical, social, and cultural features of Tillamook County from the uplands to the ocean. The Water Trail is a recreational and educational experience that promotes and celebrates the value of Tillamook County’s waterways with direct benefit to the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the County. The Water Trail enhances the identity of Tillamook County by establishing an alternative, low-impact way to enjoy and appreciate the wonders of all five Tillamook County estuaries. Safety Make safety your top priority to ensure that your paddling experience is a positive one. Before you set out, always consider the weather and water conditions where you intend to paddle; good weather and favorable tides and currents can make for a pleasant trip, but inclement conditions can create serious hazards.

The organization of technological skills and information brought to the problems of salmon utilization by Northwest Coast fishermen was directed to obtaining sufficient calories to meet the requirements of staple storage foods and fresh consumption. This study reconstructs selective elements of the traditional salmon fishery drawing on data from the ethnographic record, journals, and published observations of the period prior to intensive white settlement. To serve the objective of an ecological perspective, technical references to the habitat and distribution of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) are included.
