| Notes | "This report provides the results of the West Coast Pinniped Program established in 1997 by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to investigate the impacts of expanding pinniped populations on salmonids (especially ESA-listed salmon) and other fishery resources. . . The West Coast Pinniped Program made significant progress in developing and applying methodologies to determine pinniped impacts on salmonids; however, further research is needed to better estimate pinniped impacts on ESA-listed salmonids."
