Two Dogs, I would be very interested in seeing what types of guidelines the tribes have for operating hatchery programs, but I can't seem to find a reference that tells me what those are. A set of low risk hatchery guidelines was developed by the PS co-managers and attached as an appendix to the Puget Sound Chinook recovery plan, but when asked about implementation, most tribes have backed away from those guidelines. Could you please share with us the current hatchery guidelines for integrated and isolated harvest and recovery programs, as well as when you would expect state and tribal programs to meet those guidelines?
