From the Abstract: "Several agencies maintain an interest in increasing the size of the Lake Ozette population of sockeye salmon, and four scientists met on May 8, 1996 to discuss options to restore the population. Population limiting factors could not be specifically defined with existing information, although the decline was judged to be most likely the consequence of a series of cumulative impacts. Continuation of weir counts of adults, with improvement in the quality of the counts, was recommended as the highest priority. Monitoring of the fate of hatchery fish was the second priority presented by three of the four panel members. All agreed a planning process for a program of adaptive management must be intiated. A holistic perspective, population sustainability, appropriately conducted science, adaptability, defined and periodically reviewed project objectives, diagnosis of population condition, risk assessment of possible actions, and monitoring and evaluation should all be built into the restoration process."
