ROSEBURG, Ore. – Two stakeholder teams meet next week for the first time as part of an ODFW process to develop the Rogue-South Coast Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan (RSP) for winter and summer steelhead, coho salmon and cutthroat trout.
The stakeholder teams convene in Gold Beach and Central Point for an introductory meeting to learn about ODFW’s Native Fish Conservation Policy, the fish conservation and management plan development process and to finalize a charter. Staff is also presenting a summary of fish counts and recent management practices, including current status data for the four native fish in the RSP.
Stakeholder teams represent conservation and angling groups, watershed councils, fishing guides, recreational anglers and government entities. The teams meet with ODFW again in March and April, and staff hopes to have a draft plan ready for public review later this summer.
Meetings are open for observation by the public. Both meetings run 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and the agenda will be posted online on the RSP website.
- Gold Beach: February 26, Curry Public Library, 94341 Third Street.
- Central Point: February 27, Mace Watchable Wildlife Memorial Center at the Jackson County Expo, 1 Peninger Road.
