Description:

This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) provides decision-makers and the public with an assessment of the environmental, economic, and social impacts of alternative approaches to the issuance of an Incidental Take Statement (ITS) under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) that would exempt take of threatened or endangered ESA-listed species by participants in Southeast Alaska salmon fisheries that are subject to the 2019 Pacific Salmon Treaty Agreement, as well as the continuation of funding to the State of Alaska to implement the Pacific Salmon Treaty. NMFS issuance of an ITS, consistent with requirements of the ESA, in conjunction with a biological opinion that evaluates the effects of two federal agency actions related to the Southeast Alaska salmon fisheries on ESA-listed species and critical habitat, concludes ESA consultation on those agency actions. This EIS directly responds to a court order and analyzes the effects of the issuance of an ITS for two agency actions related to the Southeast Alaska salmon fisheries.
