On May 28, 2004, NOAA announced the release of a new hatchery policy, status reviews and proposed listing determinations for 27 groups of populations (called "evolutionarily significant units" (ESUs)) of Pacific salmon and steelhead. The comment period on the proposed listings determinations has now been extended through November 12, 2004. Also, note that the Portland, OR meeting originally scheduled for October 13 has been rescheduled to Tuesday, November 9.
