Management Measures. Oregon, Washington and the Columbia River Treaty Tribes have established a joint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management Task Force. They will continue to meet regularly in that forum to review ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ management issues and set harvest guidelines for the upcoming year. Information to be reviewed includes recreational, commercial and subsistence landings for each reservoir between Bonneville and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam. Estimates of encounters in non-retention recreational activities will also be provided. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management Task Force shall determine the harvest guidelines for each reservoir annually. The effectiveness of harvest management shall be measured relative to a three-year rolling average of the guidelines. Annual harvest guidelines may be adjusted to account for cumulative overages/underages. The treaty catch may be taken in gillnet, setline, platform or hook-and-line fisheries. Oregon, Washington, and the Columbia River Treaty Tribes agree to undertake a review of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ management regulations. The effect of size limits, sanctuaries and other regulations on the harvest guidelines will be estimated. The Parties commit to pursuing enhancement activities, along with the necessary funding, for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ populations in the Zone 6 fishing area. Activities considered will include, but not be limited to, artificial propagation, transplantation from other areas and flow augmentation. The Parties agree that funding for ongoing studies to estimate present and optimum population levels, life history characteristics, recruitment, spawning potential and appropriate ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fishing sanctuaries is essential to successfully managing these populations.
