The Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife received a $224,667 project grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to enter 2022 return year Puget Sound and coastal Washington Chinook salmon scale ages, coded wire tag recovery information, and biological data into a centralized age database. This work will be carried out from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA #11.438), which provides...

This $758,500 federal Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438) will fund the Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G) to maintain or increase coded-wire-tag sampling rates for chinook salmon caught in Southeast Alaska commercial fisheries. The key objective is to ensure that at least 20% of chinook salmon caught in the commercial fisheries of Southeast Alaska are...

The Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife will receive $9,568,239 under this Project Grant from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to implement provisions of the updated 2019-2028 Pacific Salmon Treaty and associated biological opinion. Key activities include stock and fishery monitoring through coded wire tagging, acoustic tagging, and otolith marking of salmon, as well as sampling Puget Sound fisheries for recovered tags and otoliths....

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife a $4.476 million Project Grant under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438). The grant will fund the replacement of manual fish marking trailers with an automated fish marking system to ensure that approximately 100 million hatchery-produced salmon and steelhead produced annually by WDFW are properly adipose fin clipped as required by state...

This $176,327 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438) supports the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) in verifying and recalibrating the estimated escapement of fall Chinook salmon within the Grays Harbor indicator stock. The key objectives are to compare the current approach with three alternative methods: redd counts across the entire spawning...

The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $2.14 million Project Grant to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438) for the period of July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. Funding will support maintaining or increasing coded wire tag sampling rates for Chinook salmon caught in commercial fisheries in Southeast Alaska at an objective of 20% or more each statistical...

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will receive $128,558 under a Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to improve estimates of salmon harvest for the Umpqua River stock and enable timely reporting of Coded Wire Tag Expansion Rates (CWT ERs) through June 30, 2023. Funded under NOAA's Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA #11.438), which assists states in fulfilling responsibilities under the Pacific Salmon Treaty, the grant will...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $1,226,160 Project Grant to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife through the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438). The grant will support continued full electronic sampling for coded wire tags of Chinook and coho salmon in Oregon's ocean recreational and commercial troll fisheries from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Specifically, all Chinook salmon will be sampled on recreational boats and...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $644,000 Project Grant to Oceans Initiative under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469). The grant will fund the development of a Targeted Acoustic Startle Technology system to reduce predation on endangered Chinook salmon in the Cedar River migration route. The primary goal is to create a non-lethal tool that decreases predation by pinnipeds, thereby increasing survival of Chinook salmon. Chinook...

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife received a $408,720 project grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438) for the 2021 Pacific Salmon Commission Coded Wire Tag Program. The award period runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The grant funds will support the State of Oregon's fulfillment of responsibilities under the Pacific Salmon Treaty by providing administrative management...
