Inseason Action 11
Description of the action: Inseason action 11 closed the NOF recreational salmon fishery from the U.S./Canada border to Cape Alava, WA Neah Bay subarea, due to anticipated attainment of quota.
Effective dates: Inseason action 11
took effect at 11:59 p.m., August 7, 2020, and remained in effect through September 30, 2020, the end of the 2020
NOF recreational salmon season.
Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of inseason action 11 was to avoid exceeding the subarea quota for coho salmon in the Neah Bay subarea recreational salmon fishery. The RA considered the landed catch of coho salmon to date, the amount of quota remaining, and the timing of the action relative to the length of the season, and determined that this inseason action was necessary to avoid exceeding the subarea quota set preseason. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR
660.409b1i.
Consultation date and participants:
Consultation on inseason action 11
occurred on August 5, 2020.

Inseason Action 12
Description of the action: Inseason action 12 adjusted the non-mark selective coho salmon quota in the SOF
recreational fishery from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain to account for an impact-neutral rollover of unused quota from the mark selective fishery in the same area. The non-selective quota was increased from 3,000 to 4,650.
Effective dates: Inseason action 12
took effect at 12:01 a.m. on September 4, 2020, and remained in effect through October 31, 2020, the end of the SOF
recreational salmon season in the area from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain.
Reason and authorization for the action: Provision for this impact-neutral rollover of uncaught quota is specified in the 2020 ocean salmon regulations 85 FR 27317, May 8, 2020. The SOF
JuneAugust mark selective recreational coho salmon fishery had a remaining quota of 8,607 uncaught coho salmon as of August 26, 2020. The STT
determined that a rollover of 1,650 of the unused quota to the non-mark selective fishery would have similar fishery impacts to those set during preseason planning for Oregon Coastal natural coho salmon, and would not

exceed the 11.6 percent exploitation rate set preseason. Therefore, of the remaining coho quota, 1,650 was rolled over on an impact-neutral basis, to the non-mark selective fishery in the same area. This adjusted the September nonmark selective quota from 3,000 to 4,650
coho salmon. This action did not increase the overall 2020 coho salmon quota in the SOF recreational salmon fishery. The RA considered the landed catch of coho salmon to date, the amount of quota remaining, and the timing of the action relative to the length of the season, and determined that this inseason action was necessary to meet management goals set preseason. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409b1i.
Consultation date and participants:
Consultation under 50 CFR 660.409b on inseason action 12 occurred on August 26, 2020. Representatives from NMFS, CDFW, ODFW, and the Council participated in this consultation.
Inseason Action 13
Description of the action: Inseason action 13 modified the days open for fishing from five to seven days a week, and adjusted the daily bag limit to allow retention of up to two Chinook salmon in the recreational salmon fishery U.S./
Canada border to Cape Alava, WA
Westport subarea. Previously, the two salmon per day bag limit in this fishery allowed retention of only one Chinook salmon.
Effective dates: Inseason action 13
took effect at 12:01 a.m. on September 4, 2020, and remained in effect through the September 30, 2020, the end of the 2020 NOF recreational salmon season.
Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of inseason action 13 was to allow greater access to available Chinook salmon quota in the recreational fishery. The RA considered Chinook and coho salmon landings and fishery effort in the Westport subarea and determined that this inseason action was necessary to meet management objectives set preseason.
Inseason modification of recreational bag limits and recreational fishing days per calendar week is authorized by 50
CFR 660.409b1iii.

quota for the La Push subarea to the NOF recreational coho salmon quota for the Neah Bay subarea on a 1:1, impactneutral basis. The Neah Bay quota was increased from 2,760 coho salmon to 2,988 coho salmon. The La Push quota was decreased from 690 coho salmon to 462 coho salmon. The NOF recreational coho salmon quota in the Neah Bay subarea was adjusted from 2,760 to 2,988 on an impact-neutral basis. This 1:1 roll over of coho salmon quota from the La Push subarea was necessary to have similar fishery impacts to those set preseason in Neah Bay. This also adjusted the La Push subarea quota from 690 coho salmon to 462 coho salmon.
Effective dates: Inseason action 14
took effect September 2, 2020, and remained in effect through September 30, 2020, the end of the 2020 NOF
recreational salmon season.
Reason and authorization for the action: Provision for this impact-neutral rollover of uncaught quota is specified in the 2020 ocean salmon regulations 85 FR 27317, May 8, 2020. The NOF
Neah Bay recreational coho salmon fishery reported an overage of 228 coho salmon as of August 7, 2020, when the fishery closed see inseason action 11, above. At the time of the inseason consultation, the La Push subarea had 517 coho salmon remaining on the preseason quota of 690 coho salmon.
The Councils STT determined that a 1:1
rollover of the unused coho quota from the La Push subarea to the Neah Bay subarea would have similar fishery impacts to those set preseason.
Therefore, 228 of coho quota from the La Push subarea was rolled over, on an impact-neutral basis, to the Neah Bay subarea coho fishery, for an adjusted Neah Bay subarea quota of 2,988 for the 2020 season and a revised remaining La Push subarea coho quota of 462. This action did not increase overall 2020
coho salmon quota in the NOF
recreational salmon fishery. The RA
considered the landed catch of coho salmon to date, the amount of quota taken to date, and the timing of the action relative to the length of the season, and determined that this inseason action was necessary to meet management goals set preseason and address the overage in the Neah Bay subarea coho catch. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409b1i.
