NMFS also announces that the commercial and recreational fisheries for all salmon except coho, in the areas from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, OR, will open April 1, 1999, and continue through dates to be determined in the 1999 management measures for 1999 ocean salmon fisheries in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This action is necessary to conform to the 1998 announcement of management measures for 1999 salmon seasons opening earlier than May 1, 1999, and is intended to ensure conservation of chinook salmon.
