Ocean Fisheries Sample Clauses

Ocean Fisheries. The Parties assume based on available information that ocean harvest of upriver spring and Snake River summer Chinook in the Pacific Ocean south of the southwesterly projection of the United States-Canada boundary between British Columbia and Washington is, and will continue to be minimal. If new information becomes available related to this assumption, the Parties agree to further discussion and consideration of management adjustments. If non-treaty ocean fisheries are proposed that would increase fishery related mortalities on upriver spring and Snake River summer Chinook above minimal levels assumed herein, the estimated ocean harvest of upriver spring and Snake River summer Chinook shall be reviewed by TAC and shall count toward the total allowable harvest for non-treaty fisheries (Table A1).

Ocean Fisheries. The ocean harvest of Upper Columbia summer Chinook is tracked and assessed annually through the Pacific Salmon Treaty process. If ocean harvest of summer Chinook raises a concern related to achievement of the rebuilding and enhancement goals of this Agreement or catch sharing, the Parties shall review all harvest data, including ocean fishery interceptions. This review shall be completed in sufficient time prior to the opening of the ocean fisheries to allow for any necessary modifications of regulations and production or other enhancement and rebuilding agreements and activities for that year. As a result of this review, the Parties may negotiate a modification to this Agreement as appropriate. For allocation purposes, harvest in the Pacific Ocean south of the southwesterly projection of the United States-Canada boundary between British Columbia and Washington will be counted towards catch sharing.

Ocean Fisheries. The Parties recognize that the Secretary of Commerce adopts regulations recommended by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) that annually establish a Chinook catch quota for all fisheries south of the U.S.-Canada
