Integrating Recovery Plan Products and Section 7 Consultations in the NMFS Northwest Region
July 24, 2008

Introduction:
Now that several Northwest Region salmon and steelhead recovery plans are complete, and the rest are nearing completion, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) staff members need to integrate these plans with consultations conducted under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The primary objective ofthis document is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness ofthe integration process. This document does not supersede or preclude the use of existing direction for completion of section 7 consultation, nor does it alter any obligation of NMFS or a consulting agency in carrying out its responsibilities under the ESA. A secondary objective is to help NMFS staff advise action agencies and applicants on recovery plan information that is pertinent to their consultations.

This document has two parts

Part 1 is a narrative that describes recovery planning information relevant to biological opinions.

Part 2 is a set oftables with links to the most current recovery plan information for each listed salmon and steelhead evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) and distinct population segment (DPS)(collectively, "species") in the Northwest Region. Part 2 will be continually updated as recovery plans and related technical and recovery implementation documents are completed.

The third document is a Frequently Asked Questions from the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management

Documents:
1. Integrating Recovery Plan Products and Section 7 Consultations in the NMFS Northwest Region (July 24, 2008) (373 K PDF)

2. Application of NMFS' Northwest Region Framework for Jeopardy and Destruction/Adverse Modification Analyses for Pacific Salmon and Steelhead (December 2, 2008) (512 K PDF)

3. Frequently Asked Questions form the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management "Integrating Recovery Plan Products and Section 7 Consultations in the NMFS Northwest Region" National Marine Fisheries Service, Habitat Conservation Division, May 2009 (650 K PDF)
