The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife developed the 21st Century Salmon and Steelhead Initiative to meet its responsibilities in recovering salmon and steelhead and provide sustainable fisheries. This resulted in an integrated management framework designed to restore federally listed populations through six salmon recovery plans. Create and maintain selective and sustainable fisheries. Also they want to protect and restore habitat for the fish. Retool hatchery operations to support wild fish recovery. Through the initiative, WDFW is following a comprehensive “all-H” model in which management decisions on hatchery, harvest, habitat and hydro activities are coordinated to restore salmon and steelhead populations and meet sustainable fishery goals.
