Coastal Coho Stakeholders to meet in Roseburg

ROSEBURG - Oregon's Coastal Coho Stakeholder Team will meet Dec. 8 in
Roseburg to continue working on conservation actions to benefit coastal
coho salmon. 
The stakeholder team advises both the State of Oregon and the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) on Oregon's Coastal Coho
Project. Members of the team represent fish conservation, fishing,
private land, timber, agricultural, tribal and other interests. 

The meeting is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife Southwest Region Conference Room, 4192
North Umpqua Highway. Public comments will be accepted throughout the
meeting.

More information about the Coastal Coho Project and the stakeholder team
can be found at www.oregon-plan.org. The collaborative effort began last
year to address conservation of coastal coho by working to: 

* Assess the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds effort to conserve
and rebuild coastal coho populations. 
* Use the assessment to assist NOAA Fisheries with a status review. 
* Use the assessment as a basis to seek legal assurances for local
participants. 
* Use the assessment as a foundation for developing a conservation plan
for coho. 
 
Reasonable accommodations are provided as needed for individuals
requesting assistive hearing devices, sign language interpreters or
large-print materials. Individuals needing these types of accommodations
may call the ODFW Director's Office at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6044 at
least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
