Federal Salmon Regulations for Overfished Species Rebuilding Plans; Queets River and Strait of Juan De Fuca Coho Salmon

NOAA Fisheries proposes revisions to regulations that implement the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (Council) Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This proposed action would remove rebuilding plans for Queets River and Strait of Juan de Fuca coho salmon from regulation, as these stocks have been rebuilt and are no longer required to be managed under rebuilding plans.
