Endangered Species Act
Purpose
• Conserve the ecosystems upon which endangered & threatened species depend
• Provide a program to conserve endangered & threatened species
• Take steps to achieve treaties & conventions identified in the Act
![Page 10: Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan...Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan • Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council • September 20, 2013 • Rosemary Furfey • Protected](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051905/5ff6e086d18f4f6c085c476c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Goals
• Reduce or eliminate threats
to listed animals & plants
• Restore self-sustaining
wild populations
• Remove species from the
list
• These goals can be met by
developing & implementing
a recovery plan
Endangered Species Recovery
![Page 11: Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan...Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan • Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council • September 20, 2013 • Rosemary Furfey • Protected](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051905/5ff6e086d18f4f6c085c476c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Are required by the Endangered Species Act
• Are a road map to recovery:
• Sets goals and priorities
• Targets actions
• Provides guidance for recovery of listed species
• Help secure the economic and cultural benefits of healthy
watersheds
• Are based on best available science

• Collaboratively
• Based on existing work
& best available
science
• Considering the
complete life cycle
• Supported by broad

Lake Ozette Sockeye
Salmon
• Historical abundance estimated at over 50,000 fish prior to the 1940s
• In 1990s declined to 580 fish (5-yr mean)
• Listed as threatened under Endangered Species Act in 1999
• NMFS’s 2011 Five-year status review: remain listed as threatened
![Page 15: Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan...Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan • Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council • September 20, 2013 • Rosemary Furfey • Protected](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051905/5ff6e086d18f4f6c085c476c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Recovery Plan was
Developed…
• Collaboratively
– Based on existing scientific information
– Developed with broad base of stakeholders through
the Lake Ozette Sockeye Steering Committee
– Considered the full life cycle of Sockeye
• Based on science developed by NMFS’s Technical
Recovery Team
• Recovery Plan adopted by NMFS in 2009
• Realistic roadmap to recovery
• Seeks broad support for implementation

Linkage to OCNMS in
Recovery Plan
• Implement OCNMS Management Plan
– Identify nearshore habitat data and research needs
for sockeye recovery that may be addressed
cooperatively with Sanctuary research programs
– Seek researchers and funding through NWFSC and
other interested parties
– Share information collected by OCNMS
– Cooperate and seek funding for public education
![Page 18: Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan...Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan • Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council • September 20, 2013 • Rosemary Furfey • Protected](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051905/5ff6e086d18f4f6c085c476c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Current Recovery Actions
• Habitat restoration actions
• Improved fish counting technology: DIDSON
• Education and outreach activities
• Predation sub-committee
• Land acquisition
• On-going tributary hatchery program
• Beach spawning surveys using DIDSON
• Quarterly Lake Ozette Sockeye Steering Committee
meetings
• Coordinate on-going priority projects

Potential Next Steps
• Lake Ozette Sockeye Steering Committee
identifies recovery needs related to
nearshore habitat
• Identify researcher and seek funding
• Coordinate with OCNMS to identify mutual
needs and ways to cooperate
• Build on current partnerships
