Action: Implement chinook non-retention in Ocean Area 1.
Effective dates: September 9, 2005-September 30
Species affected: Chinook
Location: Ocean Area 1 from Cape Falcon, Oregon to Leadbetter Point, Washington
Reason for action: Approaching overall chinook quota for ocean fisheries and Area 1 has exceeded its chinook guideline.
Other information: Will reduce chinook catches to help keep all ocean areas open longer for recreational opportunity. Chinook retention is still allowed in Marine Areas 2, 3 and 4. Enough chinook remain in the overall chinook quota to allow chinook retention in Marine Areas 2, 3 and 4, and to allow access to coho in all marine areas.
