(8,494 kb) LSRCP Hatchery ReviewThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) initiated a series of hatchery reviews in May 2005 to assure its hatchery programs are part of a holistic and integrated strategy, consistent with State, Tribal, and Federal strategies for conserving wild stocks and managing fisheries in watersheds within the Columbia River Basin. These reviews are tailored after a successful process recently implemented in Puget Sound and Coastal Washington watersheds. The goal of the reviews is to ensure that FWS operated and funded hatcheries are consistent with the best scientific principles and contribute to sustainable fisheries and the recovery of naturally spawning populations of salmon. The Hatchery Review Team, comprised of Service and other federal scientists are conducting field tours with hatchery managers and their staffs, reviewing hatchery operations, and meeting with the comanaging agencies and tribes to get a clear understanding of the goals for and status of each wild and hatchery population and associated habitat and management strategies to create reform recommendations for each hatchery program.
