The Siletz Basin Coho Partnership is a team of public and private agencies, tribal partners, and organizations working to accelerate Coho recovery throughout the Siletz River Basin. The Siletz SAP is one of the first population scale restoration plans that has been specifically constructed to focus on multiple life history pathways of Oregon Coast Coho to promote resiliency of the population in the face of climate change. The Partnership's vision is to produce an abundant and resilient wild Coho Salmon population in diverse habitats in the Siletz River watershed, supported by sustainable ecological processes, to provide for fishing and [...]

The Coquille River basin is Oregon's largest completely coastal watershed. Developing the Coquille Coho Strategic Action Plan (SAP) began in 2022 when restoration practitioners and local fisheries managers agreed that a comprehensive Coquille Basin plan was needed to: 1) determine specific locations where protection and restoration strategies would have the greatest positive impact toward increasing watershed function and Coho productivity over the long term, 2) coordinate project implementation and leverage funding in the short term, and 3) formalize the commitment of a robust set of partners who have collaborated on Coho recovery and will continue to do so into the [...]

This plan outlines the habitat restoration strategies that need to be enacted over the next 20 years to address the decline of Nehalem Coho populations while supporting the social and economic needs of the Nehalem River community. The Partnership envisions the result [...]
