The Finfish program is responsible for representing the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe in co-management meetings with Washington treaty tribes, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Pacific Fisheries Management Council, Pacific Salmon Commission, International Pacific Halibut Commission, and other governmental entities. It also manages fisheries season setting, in-season management, commercial sampling and reporting. In recognition of the benefits of sustainable harvest and environmental restoration, we have established collaborative co-management relationships to conduct or promote research and management actions within the watershed to better our fishery and its people.
