The 2025 Ocean Salmon Industry Group Meeting is scheduled for tomorrow Friday, February 28, 2025. This meeting will provide a review of the 2024 seasons, take a first look at the 2025 salmon forecasts, review NOAA Fisheries fishery guidance, and begin the development of Oregon preferred recreational and commercial ocean salmon season concepts via public input to take forward through the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) regulation setting process. The meeting will be held both in person and virtually this year (see details below).
This meeting is open to all ocean sport fishing anglers and charter operators, commercial salmon troll fishers, and any others interested in participating in the development of the 2025 ocean salmon seasons. Staff from ODFW will provide background materials and presentations, NOAA staff will discuss guidelines and issues affecting the 2025 salmon season structure, and then ODFW staff will work with meeting attendees to develop preferred season alternatives to use as guidance moving forward through the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s season setting process. The meeting is planned to start at 9:00 AM on Friday, February 28. It is recommended that participants attending on-line, test their system prior to the meeting to iron out any technical problems they may have. There is also an option available to call in by phone. For those attending in person, the meeting will be held in the auditorium of the OSU Gladys Valley Marine Studies Building on the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. No food or drink is allowed in the auditorium, so please plan accordingly.
