I. Abstract
The Northwest Fisheries Science
Center is responsible for research to
support recovery planning for Pacific
salmon listed under the Endangered
Species Act. Fisheries scientists have
identified a number of critical habitat
features necessary for the recovery of
Pacific salmon in Washington State.
One of the most important of these
habitat elements is ensuring sufficient
flows of freshwater for fish passage,
spawning, and rearing.
Washington State, in consultation
with federal, local, and tribal
government partners, has begun
establishing in-stream flow rules for a
number of watersheds in the state. The
new measures that ensure sufficient
freshwater flows for salmon have begun
implementation across Water Resource
Inventory Areas (WRIAs). However,
little is understood about the
institutional arrangements (laws,
policies, and organizational structures)
needed to successfully implement the
habitat management activities necessary
for salmon recovery.
Thus far, research on this topic has
focused primarily on watershed
planning, rather than on organizational
structures or the implementation on
water supply rules, controls and
agreements. This study will
complement these inquiries by
examining the institutional design of
programs to support salmon recovery.
The results from this study will
highlight the institutional features that
are associated with the effective
implementation of water supply control
measures. This data will be used to
develop a preliminary set of indicators
that may help predict the likely success
of efforts to implement water supply
controls across Washington State.
II. Method of Collection
Secondary sources will be used to
collect the information, such as
literature reviews, planning documents,
