    Three natural coho stocks (Queets coho, Strait of Juan de Fuca 
coho, and Snohomish coho) and two Chinook stocks (Sacramento River fall 
Chinook and Klamath River fall Chinook) were found to meet the criteria 
for being classified as overfished in the PFMC Review of 2017 Ocean 
Salmon Fisheries. Under the tenets of the Salmon Fishery Management 
Plan (FMP), the STT is required to develop a salmon rebuilding plan for 
each of these stocks and propose them to the Council within one year.
    The STT will meet with tribal, state, and other management entities 
who will work with the STT to provide data and expertise on pertinent 
topics to be included in each rebuilding plan, consistent with the FMP. 
Discussions may include, but are not limited to, work flow, document 
structure, and timeline. One meeting will occur for each of the five 
stocks; additional meetings will be scheduled as needed. These work 
sessions are open to the public.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues 
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document that require emergency action under 
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to 
take final action to address the emergency.

Special Accommodations

    The meetings are physically accessible to people with disabilities. 
Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids 
should be directed to Mr. Kris Kleinschmidt at
