Quick Links to Plans

Salmon and Steelhead Recovery Tracker

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is leading or participating in several recovery or conservation planning efforts. The plans are designed to address legal requirements for recovery planning under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) and under Oregon’s Native Fish Conservation Policy (OAR 635-007-0502).

The plans developed under this policy provide an informed, strategic approach to recovery that is based on science, is supported by stakeholders, and is built on existing efforts and new proposed recovery actions. The plans are linked to an adaptive management framework that will allow it to evolve over time with the acquisition of new information, including the assessment of the success of recovery actions implemented.

Status of plans for the fish species or species management units in Oregon

The tables below display the status of planning efforts for all of the species or Species Management Units (SMU) of freshwater or anadromous species in Oregon. Where defined, the SMU is the level at which management actions will be applied and conservation status will be assessed as is consistent with the Native Fish Conservation Policy. The tables also include information on the following:

Federal Status: status information as assigned by the National Marine Fisheries Service or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; LT=listed threatened, LE=listed endangered, or SOC=species of concern.
State Status: status information as assigned by ODFW; threatened and endangered status is a legal standing; sensitive status is an administrative status used as a sort of watch list for species in decline; SC=sensitive critical, SV=sensitive vulnerable.
NFSR (Native Fish Status Report): indicates if species or SMUs were assessed during the 2005 update of the Native Fish Status report; clicking on “assessed” will take you to a page with links to the report summaries and details of the analysis. If a conservation plan is complete for a species or SMU, this classification will be removed as the evaluation completed during planning is considered more current and complete.
Status of Planning Efforts: indicates if a plan is complete, in draft, or in progress; clicking on the link will take you to a page with more detail. More information on federal recovery plans is available at the following sites:
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
