| Notes | This document should be read with reference to the original Draft Environmental Impact Statement by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on Oregon coastal hatcheries run by the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) (https://archive.fisheries.noaa.gov/wcr/publications/nepa/hatchery/orcoas... ) . The average reader, for example, will need to refer to the page of acronyms and abbreviations on page xi of the main document to learn that pHOS stands for Proportion of hatchery-origin spawners. This paper is highly critical of the alternatives presented by NMFS and points out that both ODFW and NMFS are invested in supporting the status quo. “The HGMPs [Hatchery and Genetic Management Plans] are not being operated or proposed to be operated consistent with the best available science regarding genetic and ecological impacts on wild salmonids. We have evaluated the alternatives provided in the DEIS and show that they are not adequate to protect threatened coho and other species.” (from the summary) |
