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 [...]

The Nehalem River is the third-longest coastal river in Oregon and is home to an independent population of Oregon Coast Coho. The Nehalem Basin Partnership is composed of local NGOs, state and federal agencies, and industrial partners that came together to develop the Nehalem Basin Strategic Action Plan (SAP) for the Protection and Restoration of Coho Salmon Habitat. 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 [...]

The Coos Basin is comprised of dynamic rivers, productive agricultural lands and the largest estuary completely in Oregon. The Coos Basin Coho Partnership, composed of local NGOs, state and federal agencies, tribes and industrial partners, came together to develop the Coos Basin Strategic Action Plan (SAP) for Coho Salmon recovery. This plan outlines the long-term strategies that need to be enacted over the next 25 years, in order to sustain this coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) population into the future. With a focus on supporting working agricultural lands, while at the same time increasing and improving ecological conditions for coho salmon, this SAP balances the [...]

The Elk River is comprised of dynamic rivers, productive agricultural lands and the largest estuary completely in Oregon. The Elk Coho Partnership, composed of local NGOs, state and federal agencies, tribes and industrial partners, came together to develop the Elk River Strategic Action Plan (SAP) for Coho Salmon recovery. This plan outlines the long-term strategies that need to be enacted over the next 25 years, in order to sustain this coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) population into the future. With a focus on supporting working agricultural lands, while at the same time increasing and improving ecological conditions for coho salmon, [...]

The Siuslaw River once supported one of the largest runs of wild coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) along the Oregon coast. Over 150 years of resource use and development in the Siuslaw River watershed have contributed to a long and steady decline in the population. Climate change and an uncertain trend in watershed health now raise concern among managers that the Siuslaw population – like other populations on the Oregon coast – may not remain viable in the decades to come. This plan represents the culmination of a three-year collaboration among local stakeholders to identify and locate restoration projects that will [...]
