Pacific Southwest Region

female chinook salmon icon PROGRAM STRATEGY

Fishery managers must address complex biological, economic, social, and technological issues to substantially restore natural production of anadromous fish in the Central Valley. Restoration is costly and requires changing the way aquatic resources and habitats are managed. Because this challenge is great, the AFRP requires solid strategies to select and implement effective restoration actions.

AFRP strategies consist of two components, Implementation Principles and an Implementation Approach. Implementation principles are the tenets guiding prioritization and selection of actions. The implementation approach describes key aspects of how restoration actions will be implemented.
