Abstract
NMFS has completed a comprehensive status review of the Washington Coast (WC) Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) in response to a petition to list this species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to designate critical habitat concurrently with the listing. Based on the best scientific and commercial information available, including the status review report, and after considering efforts being made to protect the species, NMFS has determined that the WC Chinook salmon ESU does not warrant listing.
