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

salmon fisheries negotiations fail
the two sides were close stakehold
ers in the fall of 1997 to conclude
their work.
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. It is time to work together for

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.
Sockeye
The U.S. has a long history of
contributing to the proper manage
ment of the Frascr sockeye resource.

was entitled to 50 percent of the
harvest available in the strait of Juan

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

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

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.

In order to accommodate Cana

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
