The Joint Natural Resources Cabinet has encouraged full public participation in the development of this strategy. To date, there have been dozens of work sessions and meetings across the state. We have received pounds of correspondence, and additional feedback through the Internet. The Joint Cabinet and Salmon Recovery Office take comments very seriously, and we have incorporated changes which contribute to the goals of salmon recovery and ESA certainty into this draft. We will begin to update and improve both the strategy and the early action plan in September 2000. We thank everyone who has taken the time to provide us with their thoughts and suggestions.
