The YKFP is a supplementation project designed to use artificial propagation in an attempt to maintain or increase natural production while maintaining long-term fitness of the target population and keeping ecological and genetic impacts to non-target species within specified limits. The Project is also designed to provide harvest opportunities. The framework developed by the Regional Assessment of Supplementation Project (RASP 1991) guides the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Project.
The purposes of the YKFP are to:
· enhance existing stocks of anadromous fish in the Yakima and Klickitat
river basins while maintaining genetic resources;
· reintroduce stocks formerly present in the basins; and
· apply knowledge gained about supplementation throughout the Columbia
River Basin.
The Master Plan for Coho Reintroduction is available to the public here. A simple way of submitting comments on the plan and seeing what other people have said about the plan is to visit our guestbook area set up for this master plan.
If you'd like to get into a discussion with others on the plan, I've set up a forum area here (Use the Register tab to sign up if you haven't used our forum before.)
