Inter-agency collaborative approaches to endangered species act compliance and salmon recovery in the pacific northwest

Abstract

We assessed attempts by federal and state agencies to utilize aCommunity Oriented Policing and Problem Solving(COPPS) approach to address endangered species and natural resource protection issues in two watersheds in Washington State involving listed species of salmon, steelhead and bull trout.

A citizen mail survey (n=800+ in each location) and extensive personal interviews with key actors were conducted to assemble evidence on the degree of success achieved in implementing ROE. Observed results suggest that collaboration can
