SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the meeting is to further
develop a report to assess the cause of
KRFC failing to meet the 35,000 adult
spawner conservation objective, and the
implication to the long-term
productivity of the stock of not meeting
that objective, for three consecutive
years.
When a salmon stock managed by the
Council fails to meet its conservation
objective for three consecutive years an
overfishing concern is triggered
according to the terms of the Pacific
Coast Salmon Plan (Salmon Plan). The
Salmon Plan requires the Council to
direct its Salmon Technical Team to
work with relevant agency and tribal
personnel to undertake a review of the
status of the stock in question and
determine if excessive harvest was
responsible for the shortfall, if other
factors were involved, and the
significance of the stock depression
