Held November 7-8 2018, in Newport, Oregon
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.
