Scientific Review of Hatcheries: 1998-2012
• 1998 (stimulus): Proposed ESA listing of Chinook salmon in Puget Sound.
• 1999: U.S. Congress initiates Hatchery Scientific Review Group (HSRG).
• 2000-2004: HSRG review of Puget Sound and coastal Washington hatcheries (state, tribal, federal).
• 2005-2011: USFWS review of 15 Nat’l Fish Hatcheries and 9 Lower Snake River Comp. Plan hatcheries in ID, OR, WA.
• 2006-2009: HSRG review (modeling assessment) of state, tribal, and federal hatcheries in the Columbia River basin.
• 2010-2012: California HSRG review of state and federal hatcheries in California.

Strategic Hatchery Management: New Paradigm
View hatcheries biologically as a type of habitat, manage fish as components of sustainable populations, and manage populations – both hatchery and wild - for maximum viability with quantified conservation and harvest goals for populations.

Implementation of Strategic Hatchery Management
Main Points
• Programmatic changes and goal setting require agreement among comanagers.
• Most operational changes can be implemented with little or no increase in funds.
• Facility upgrades are often needed to reduce risks.
• M & E are essential for measuring success towards achievement of population goals (adaptive management).

Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC)
“The essence of SHC is setting
explicit objectives for populations
and then figuring out how to
attain these objectives.”
(Strategic Wildlife Conservation)

Conservation in Transition (Vision for the Future)
“The 21st Century will demand:
• A shift from managing individual resources to sustaining species, populations, and systems;
• An emphasis on science linking work to landscapes, major eco-regions, and species ranges;
• Increased use of predictive models and measurable biological outcomes;
• Increased emphasis on biological accountability;• Increased emphasis on transparency, public participation,
and engagement.”

Strategic Hatchery Management:
Roadmap to SuccessVision for the Future
(Quantified Goals, Scientific Defensibility, Adaptive Management)
Conclusions
• Focus on populations, not facilities.
• Establish conservation and harvest goals for populations, not “goals” for facilities.
• View hatcheries biologically as a type of habitat.
• Use the same scientific principles for managing all populations, regardless of where they spawn.
• Establish benchmarks for achieving population goals and measuring success.
• Adjust hatchery programs in response to M&E to increase the likelihood of achieving population goals (increasing benefits and reducing risks).
