Comprehensive Management Plan for Puget Sound Chinook: Harvest Management Component 2010 Plan Update The Puget Sound Chinook Harvest Management Plan defines conservation goals for state and tribal fisheries that catch Puget Sound chinook salmon, which are listed for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act.  Under that law, no fisheries affecting Puget Sound chinook can occur without a conservation plan approved by NOAA Fisheries.   The current plan will expire in April, 2010.  The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Puget Sound Treaty Indian Tribes are currently working on a revision of the Harvest Management Plan, for submission to NOAA Fisheries, to cover fisheries beginning in May, 2010.
