NOAA finalizes California salmon fishery closure for third year
NOAA Fisheries will close or constrain fishing for salmon off the southern Oregon and California coasts for the 2025-26 fishing season, citing 'anticipated extremely low returns of California Chinook stocks,' the agency announced this week.
Fishing will be allowed in between central Oregon and northern Washington.
The new provisions — which also establishes quotas, landing limits and other management measures for salmon — were recommended by the Pacific Fishery Management Council in April and underwent public review and comment, according to NOAA. Recreational fishing will also be limited under the new rule.

'This will reduce impacts to stocks of concern until they rebound to levels that can support further fishing opportunities,' the agency said in a notice. For now, regulators said, 'forecasts of lower adult salmon returns in southern Oregon and California required managers and fishermen to make tough choices in developing fishing regimes for these areas.'
