ACTION: Notice of a public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Pacific Council)
Tule Chinook Workgroup (TCW) will hold a meeting to review work
products and develop an abundance-based harvest management approach for
Columbia River natural tule Chinook. This meeting of the TCW is open to
the public.
DATES: The meeting will be held Tuesday, August 9, 2011, from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Pacific Council Office, 7700
NE. Ambassador Place, Suite 101, Portland, OR 97220-1384; telephone:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Chuck Tracy, Salmon Management
Staff Officer, Pacific Fishery Management Council; telephone: (503)
820-2280.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting of the TCW will involve review
of work products and summarizing draft results for initial presentation
to the Pacific Council. TCW work products will be reviewed by the
Pacific Council, and if approved, would be submitted to NMFS for
possible consideration in the next Lower Columbia River tule biological
opinion for ocean salmon seasons in 2012 and beyond, and distributed to
State and Federal recovery planning processes. In the event that a
usable approach emerges from this process, the Pacific Council may
consider a fishery management plan (FMP) amendment process beginning
after November 2011 to adopt the approach as a formal conservation
objective in the Salmon FMP.
Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda
may come before the TCW for discussion, those issues may not be the
subject of formal action during these meetings. Action will be
restricted to those issues specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this notice that require emergency
action under Section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, provided the public
