Please call if interested: 553-5630 Asking price: $24,500 The Government of the United States May 21 announced with re gret that negotiations over Pacific salmon fisheries with the Govern ment of Canada were suspended. Officials of the two Governments met in Seattle, Washington on May 20 in a continuing effort to resolve long-standing salmon conservation and sharing issues. The two Govern ments had previously agreed to al low groups of "stakeholders" from each country to develop recommen dations for resolution of those is sues. Although the stakeholders made progress in narrowing differences, their talks ended inconclusively on May 9. Unfortunately, discussions between the Governments failed to produce the comprehensive, long term solution that the United States have been seeking. The United States Governments had proposed the stakeholder talks as a means to get beyond the en trenched positions that had plagued the two sides for years. Consistent with this approach, the United States Government has asked its stake hold ers to set aside old viewpoints and to be creative and pragmatic in advanc ing new ideas and new concessions to meet legitimate Canadian con cerns. In pursuit of an historic, over all agreement with Canada, the U.S. stakeholders more than met this chal lenge, developing a wide range of far-reaching and forward-looking proposals that entailed sharp reduc tions in key U.S. fisheries and a radi cal restructuring of a significant part of the U.S. industry. These proposals would also have provided for long term conservation of natural salmon stocks and sustainable fisheries in both countries. Regrettably, the Canadian side did not match this effort, but instead re mained wedded to several long-held positions of the Canadian Govern ment that have repeatedly prevented agreement in the past. By failing to move from these positions, the Ca nadians ensured the failure of the stakeholder negotiations. In the talks on May 20, the United States urged the development by both sides of a specific proposal on the full range of southern salmon fishery issues under discussion. That pro posal would have been submitted to the relevant U.S. States and treaty Indian tribes for review and approval. It is unfortunate that the Government of Canada was unwilling to engate potential agreement. On northern is sues, the United States believes that I Want to subscribe to Spilyay Tymoo? Moving?

The United States Government believes that the Government of Canada has seriously misjudged the situation and has lost, at least for now, the possibility of achieving a long-term agreement that would ben efit the resources and fisheries of both countries. As a result, issues that have divided the two nations for a decade remain unresolved. The United States Government neverthe less reiterates its desire to reach such an agreement with Canada and has suggested as an initial step toward the goal, that the northern stakehold ers reconvene in the fall. Facts about Chinook Salmon The 1985 Pacific Salmon Treaty reflected a recognition by both the United States and Canada that con servation and fair sharing of Chi nook salmon could not be achieved without a coordinated and consistent approach to management. The par ties initiated a coastwide conseration program to rebuild Chinook salmon stocks through fishing regimes that lowered harvests. However, these regimes did not respond to fluctua tions in Chinook abundance. Signifi cant progress has been made but be cause some stocks remain in trouble, a new approach to managing Chi nook was needed. In June of 1996, the United States Section of the Pacific Salmon Com mission (PSC) reached a historic agreement for Southeast Alaska fish eries which establishes a foundation for bilateral negotiation and coop eration with Canada on long-term management of Chinook salmon. Instead of fixed catch ceilings, the approach establishes catch levels that fluctuate annually with the expected abundance of Chinook salmon. Both Conservation and fair sharing would be achieved by lowering harvests at reduced fish abundance and increas ing harvest only when fish abun dance increases. Canada has been critical of the U.S. agreement, but for nearly one year has refused to meet with the U.S. todiscuss the proposal, let alone jointly develop a mutually accept able approach to managing Chinook salmon coastwide. Canada's future participation in a coastwide regime for management and allocation is vital to achieving our shared goals of conservation and long term sustain ability of Chinook resources and fish eries.

Congratulations To the editor, My son has finally did it ! ! ! I would like tocongratulate my son T.J. (Taw James Foltz) on his accomplishment of graduating from the Madras High School. I am really proud of him for returning to school and finishing his education. And will be going on to college at Clackamas Community College next year. He was struggling very hard last year to finish but was short a credit, and he finished it and graduated. I'm really proud of you son. That's from me, Jamie & Kids & Tia too! the sake of the resource and the fu ture of the fishing industry. In response to conservation con cerns, the 1996 Southeast Alaska harvest was reduced to 1 47,000 Chi nook, 44 below the catch ceiling established under the treaty with Canada, and the lowest in 85 years. The restrictions were implemented to respond to low abundance fore casts for Chinook stocks, including those that originate from the West Coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI). By helping to address conservation concerns, the harvest level for the Southeast Alaska fishery would be expected to increase when abundance improves. Prior to the 1996 season, Canada expressed concern that some wild Chinook stocks could become ex tinct. As it turned out, Canada under estimated Chinook returns to WCVI by 345 percent. Canadian hatcheries met their targets for Chinook eggs and spawning escapements were higher than anticipated. Despite con cerns over Alaskan interceptions, the Alaskan harvest in 1996 accounted for only 4 of the female Chinook returning to the main WCVI produc tion hatchery at Robertson Creek. Coho Wild Coho stocks in both South ern B.C. and the U.S. Pacific North west face serious conservation threats. The U.S. stakeholders pre sented scientific evidence that dra matic reductions in exploitation rates (approaching a 50 reduction) are required to ensure that long term sustain ability of wild coho stocks and Canadian and U.S. fisheries that depend upon them. No information to the contrary was presented by Canada. Nevertheless, while ac knowledging that an abundance based approach was needed, Canadian stakeholders did not agree with the magnitude of the reductions neces sary. The U.S. stakeholders could not accept a coho fishing regime that does not, at a minimum meet conser vation needs. That would be irre sponsible. Conservation is a basic tenet of the treaty, and management on the basis of the Canadian stake holders' proposal would have en dangered both Canadian and Wash ington coho stocks.

The Pacific Salmon Treaty in 1985 set forth new international sharing arrangements. Even though Frasurc sockeye runs have increased insignificantly since the treaty's inception by as much as 20 million fish in some years the U.S. stakeholders proposed major reductions from their historic share. U.S. sockeye catch in Washington proposed by the U.S. stakeholders would be dramatically reduced in phases from the 8.25 million caught between 1985 and 1988 to a pro jected 4.7 million between 2001 and 2004. U.S. stakeholders also proposed a catch reduction for the 1997 year of one-half million sockeye as an addi tional incentive, as well as a dra matic restructuring of its non-Indian commercial harvesting fleet. Northern Stakeholder Negotia tions, Vancouver, British Columbia Overview The Northern stakeholders spent about 80 of their time discussing the Noyes Island fishery, and came very near agreement on it and the remaining three fisheries that were introduced during the May meeting in Vancouver, B.C. The U.S. North ern stakeholders proposed fishing regimes with significant reductions in Alaska fisheries as well as the creation of a Northern Boundary Restoration and Enhancement Fund, which, if implemented, would re ceive contributions from the United States beginning in 1998. The fund would be used for the conservation, management, enhancement and res toration (including habitat restora tion) for Pacific salmon in the north ern area. Canada did not accept the package and agreement was not reached on Friday, May 9. Alaska's District 104-"Noyes Is land Purse Seine Fishery" Early scason-sockeye The 1 990s have seen an explosion in abundance of sockeye in the bound ary area, culminating in 1996 with the largest sockeye return ever to the Skcena River. Due to this high abun dance, Alaska's early season salmon fishery has been disrupted, reducing it from 4 days per week to as little as six hours per week. U.S. stakeholders proposed an abundance-based approach that would set Alaska's share of the sock eye catch at 2.9 Harvest levels would fluctuate with abundance.

For the purposes of this section, an Indian is a person who is proach, Alaska essentially volun teered to reduce its harvest for the 1997-99 fishing seasons by two thirds from roughly 300,000 to 100,000 sockeye (based upon Cana dian projections for NassSkecna sockeye returns). Late Season-Pink Salmon In addition, pink salmon runs in the boundary area have skyrocketed to historic levels in the 1990s and dominate the catch late in the season. As harvest of this larger run has in creased, so has incidental catch of sockeye late in the season. Canada seeks restrictions in the Alaskan fish erics affecting these stocks. The U.S. Northern stakeholders proposed to limit Alaska's harvest of pinks in the he district 104 fishery in years of low abundance. Based upon historical figures, the U.S. proposal would have caused Alaska to limit its fishery in 17 of the 37 years since statehood (1959). Canadian Area 1 Troll Since the treaty was signed in 1985, Canada has requested and Alaska has agreed to increases in the harvest of pink salmon in the Area 1 troll fishery to reflect greater runs in the Northern Boundary area. Since 1977, a new Canadian troll fleet has emerged in the disputed area which intercepts Alaskan bound stocks.

Canadian shore. In order to accommodate Cana dian needs, the U.S. Northern stake holders proposed an exploitation rate of 1.5 on Alaskan pink salmon in the Area 1 troll fishery, the average since the treaty was signed. This pro posal will eliminate numerous caps on pink salmon harvested in the AB strip (an era three miles south of the Canadian version of the boundary) and areawide, and cut in half the area subject to AB strip restrictions. Alaskan District 1 0 1 Gillnct Fish ery (Tree point fishery) U.S. Northern stakeholders pro posed a fishery arrangement based on an exploitation rate of Nass Skcena sockeye available in the area. The Canadian Northern stakehold ers suggested a reduction in the Alaska fishery based upon the Cana dian argument of reducing what they perceive as an "equity imbalance." Canadian Area 3 (1-4) Canadian Gillnet and Purse Seine Fisheries The U.S. Northern stakeholders proposed an arrangement that mir rors the agreement for Tree Point, which allows the fishery to harvest pink salmon at a rate that reflects average catches since the treaty has been in effect. U.S. stakeholders are concerned with increases in Cana dian efforts in the area at the bound ary. The U.S. stakeholders insisted that management at Tree Point (Dis trict 101) be reflected in similar re strictions in Canada's Area 3 (1-4) net fishery.
