At its February 1-2, 2008, Commission meeting in Olympia,
the Commission continued approval of a proposed 2008
policy for Mainstem Columbia River Spring Chinook Management
and Allocation for Non-Indian Fisheries (C-3617) to
this meeting. The Commission held a public hearing on
the topic during its January 11-12, 2008, Commission
meeting in Vancouver.
Commissioner Mahnken moved, seconded by Commissioner
Chew, to adopt the policy titled "Mainstem Columbia
River Spring Chinook Management and Allocation for Non-Indian
Fisheries, 2008" dated February 2, 2008, as presented.
Commissioner Roehl moved, seconded by Commissioner
Wecker, to amend the motion by changing page 2 of the
policy, under "Stakeholders Visioning Process," in the
second and third bullets, insert "that" and delete "to,"
so they read:
- The Commission recommends that the Stakeholder
Group provide incentives for sectors that reduce release
mortalities.
- The Commission recommends that the Stakeholder
Group include stronger penalties for those fishers
that have repeat violations of selective fishery rules.
The motion to amend the motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Roehl moved, seconded by Commissioner
Mahnken, to amend the motion by adding, on page 2, under
Fisheries Management Objectives, at the end of the fifth
bullet, "as well as in the mainstem below Bonneville
Dam." The motion to amend the motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Roehl moved, seconded by Commissioner
Solomon, to amend the motion by changing, on page 2,
under Allocation of Upriver Spring Chinook Impacts,
the recreational allocation from 65% to 57%. The
motion to amend the motion failed.
Commissioner Roehl moved, seconded by Commissioner
Wecker, to amend the motion by adding, on page 2, under
Delegation of Authority: "The Director shall work with
the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to achieve
implementation of this Commission action in a manner
that results in concurrent regulations between the two
states. The Director shall consult with the Commission
if it becomes necessary to deviate from the Commission's
Policy to achieve concurrent regulations with Oregon."
The motion to amend the motion carried unanimously.
The motion, as amended, carried.
(Commissioner Wecker abstained from the vote on the
motion.)
