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?



What guidelines are you referring to? The tribes don't follow the same guidelines the state does for the most part. The only similarity would be in following HSRG recommendations, which most tribal hatcheries have done.

With a little search or an email, you could probably locate HGMPs from your local tribes to see what it is that their hatchery programs are doing.
