DIPAC'S GOAL IS TO CONTRIBUTE 70% OF ITS PRODUCTION TO THE COMMON PROPERTY FISHERIES AND 30% OF PRODUCTION TO THE COST RECOVERY HARVEST. DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD, DIPAC'S CHUM SALMON RETURN WAS 2.0M FISH, WHICH WAS 45% OF THE PRE-SEASON FORECAST. THE CHINOOK AND COHO PROGRAMS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE VALUABLE SPORT FISHING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT JUNEAU, WITH AN ESTIMATED 12K AND 45K FISH RETURNING, RESPECTIVELY.
