The California Department of Fish and Wildlife invites the public to attend its upcoming annual Salmon Information Meeting.
The meeting will feature the outlook for this year’s sport and commercial ocean salmon fisheries, in addition to a review of last year’s salmon fisheries and spawning escapement.
The meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. via webinar.
Stakeholders are encouraged to provide input on potential fishing seasons to a panel of California salmon scientists, managers and fishery representatives who will be directly involved in the upcoming Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings in March and April.
The 2021 Salmon Information Meeting marks the beginning of a two-month-long public process used to develop annual sport and commercial ocean salmon fishing regulations.
The process involves collaborative negotiations with west coast states, federal agencies, tribal comanagers, and stakeholders interested in salmon fishery management and conservation.
Public input will help California representatives develop a range of recommended season alternatives during the March 2 to 5 and 8 to 11, 2021 PFMC meeting.
The PFMC will finalize the recommended season dates at its April 6 to 9 and 12 to 15 meeting.
Salmon Information Meeting details and instructions for attendance are available on CDFW’s Ocean Salmon webpage, along with a calendar of events and other opportunities for public engagement in the 2021 preseason process.
A summary of key information and meeting outcomes will be posted on the Marine Management News blogsite after the meeting.
