Held November 7-8 2018, in Newport, Oregon

Final Agenda

Goals:

  • Advance the conservation and sustainable management of Coastal Cutthroat Trout by sharing information and knowledge gained since the 2005 Coastal Cutthroat Trout Symposium;
  • Identify and enhance essential knowledge on trout life history and ecology;
  • Provide the latest assessments of the status of populations coast-wide with emphasis on anadromous populations;
  • Define and seek solutions to the problems associated with cutthroat trout management;
  • Discuss the future of Coastal Cutthroat Trout and advance the development of a coordinated, range-wide conservation plan including data sharing.
