1/26/04 -  NOAA Fisheries has released for public review its "Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (FPEIS) for Pacific Salmon Fisheries Management off the Coasts of Southeast Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, and in the Columbia River Basin."  The FPEIS is an annual review of salmon management that describes the effects of human actions on the biological environment. Because anadromous stocks of salmon and steelhead are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act as threatened or endangered, the FPEIS concentrates broadly on those ESUs and the variety of activities, laws and agreements that govern the stocks.
