SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

meeting of the TCW will involve review 

of initial work products and refining 

future work plans. Eventually, TCW 

work products will be reviewed by the

be submitted to NMFS for possible 

consideration in the next Lower 

Columbia River tule biological opinion 

for ocean salmon seasons in 2012 and 

beyond, and distributed to State and 

Federal recovery planning processes. In 

the event a usable approach emerges 

from this process, the Pacific Council 

may consider a fishery management 

plan (FMP) amendment process 

beginning after November 2011 to adopt 

the approach as a formal conservation 

objective in the Salmon FMP.
