NMFS announces inseason increases to the non-treaty and treaty Indian coho salmon ocean fishery quotas in the area from the U.S.- Canadian border to Cape Falcon, OR. The increase to the non-treaty quota is apportioned between the commercial troll and recreational fisheries and among recreational subareas according to the coho salmon allocation provisions contained in the Fishery Management Plan for the Ocean Salmon Fisheries off the Coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. NMFS also announces that the commercial salmon fishery in the area from Sisters Rocks to Mack Arch, OR, opened 7 days a week beginning August 15, 1996. This adjustment is intended to provide additional fishing opportunity to commercial fishermen and maximize the harvest of chinook salmon without exceeding the ocean share allocated to the commercial fishery in this area.
