Title and Description:
Required Survival Rate Changes to Meet Technical Recovery Team Abundance and Productivity Viability Criteria for Interior Columbia ESA-Listed Pacific Salmon Populations
The report will consist of a technical report describing, for many populations in the Interior Columbia River Basin, the difference ("gap") between the population’s current survival rates and the survival rate needed to achieve a biological status consistent with Endangered Species Act (ESA) delisting goals. The report will play a role in recovery planning for ESA-listed Pacific salmon populations and ongoing discussions and planning for the operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). Although many factors and analyses are expected to influence development of ESA recovery plans for Pacific salmon and planning for operation of the FCRPS, this report will quantify the survival "gap" that would need to be filled in order to meet the Technical Recovery Team's recommended viability criteria for ESA-listed salmon stocks in the interior Columbia River Basin.
