4 Legislative Direction Recovery Planning Salmon Recovery Act (1998) interest of citizens to retain primary responsibility for managing the natural resources of the state and may best accomplish this objective by integrating local and regional recovery activities into a statewide strategy consistent with regional and watershed recovery plans. Statewide Actions Statewide Strategy to Recover Salmon Regional Actions Local Actions Recovery Plan at ESU Scale Statewide Strategy Big picture State agency actions and programs Goal: Restore salmon and steelhead to healthy harvestable levels and the habitats on which they rely. Sets stage for regional recovery plans Extinction is Not an Option Regions Are Crucial Commitment of locals with land use authority Active public engagement Tribal and state agency partnership Federal participation - science and policy - essential to success
