Abstract
NMFS announces the closures of the ocean recreational salmon fisheries from Cape Alava to Queets River, Washington, and Leadbetter Point, Washington, to Cape Falcon, Oregon, that were effective at midnight, August 9, 1998. This action was necessary to conform to the 1998 management measures and was intended to ensure conservation of coho and chinook salmon as well as to maximize the harvest of coho and chinook salmon without exceeding the ocean share allocated to the recreational fishery in these subareas.
