Heads up for the Grays harbor Willapa ZOOM tonight.

From region 6

Hello Everyone,

The final Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) meeting for this year’s North of Falcon (NOF) salmon season setting process was completed last week in Seattle. The staff wanted to reach out to share the outcome of these meetings.

We have a Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor public meeting scheduled tonight, April 16, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. via Zoom where we will provide a post-NOF review of the proposed draft fishery regulations and schedules for the 2024-25 salmon seasons for Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor.

You can register for this virtual meeting online at 2024 North of Falcon public meeting schedule | Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information on how to join the meeting.

Attached are the meeting presentation, an updated list of public fishery suggestions received for Willapa Bay to-date, and a copy of the Willapa Bay TAMM model and output. All documents have been posted to our website and can be found at the link above.
If you have any questions about the documents provided, please reply to this email, or contact us directly at WillapaBay@dfw.wa.gov or GraysHarbor@dfw.wa.gov.

Thank you and hope to hear from you tonight.
