(1) The Puget Sound beach seine salmon fishery is designated as an emerging commercial fishery for which a vessel is required. An emerging commercial fishery license and an experimental fishery permit are required to participate in this fishery. (2) The department will issue five salmon beach seine experimental fishery permits. (3) The following is the selection process the department will use to offer a salmon beach seine experimental permit. (a) Persons who held a salmon beach seine experimental fishery permit in the previous management year will be eligible for a permit in the current management year. (b) The department established a pool of applicants by drawing on August 13, 2002. The pool established by this drawing will be maintained to replace any permit(s) which may be voided. (4) Permit holders are required to participate in the salmon beach seine experimental fishery. (a) For purposes of this section, "participation" means the holder of the salmon beach seine experimental permit being aboard the designated vessel in the open fishery area two days each week during the open fishing period. (b) If the salmon beach seine experimental permit holder fails to participate, the salmon beach seine experimental permit issued to that fisher will be void and a new salmon beach seine experimental permit will be issued through a random drawing from the applicant pool established in 2002. (c) The department may require proof of participation by maintaining a department approved log book or registering with state officials each day the salmon beach seine experimental permit holder participates. (d) Persons who participate, but violate conditions of a salmon beach seine experimental permit, will have the permit voided and a new salmon beach seine experimental permit will be reissued through a random drawing from the pool of the voided permit holder. (5) In Quilcene Bay, chum salmon may not be retained by a salmon beach seine experimental permit holder. Chum salmon in Quilcene Bay must be released alive, or, at the direction of federal or state officials, submitted for broodstock purposes. (6) Any person who fails to purchase the license, fails to participate, or violates the conditions of a salmon beach seine experimental permit will have his or her name permanently withdrawn from the pools. (7) It is unlawful to take salmon with beach seine gear that does not meet the requirements of this subsection. (a) Beach seine salmon nets in Puget Sound shall not exceed 600 feet in length or 100 meshes in depth, or contain meshes of a size less than 3 inches or greater than 4 inches. (b) Mesh webbing must be constructed with a twine size no smaller than 210/30d nylon, 12 thread cotton, or the equivalent diameter in any other material.

It is unlawful to retain chinook taken with beach seine gear in all areas, and unlawful to retain chum from Area 12A.

(1) When the director determines that a harvestable amount of salmon appears to be available, but that full-fleet fishing effort has an unacceptable risk of exceeding the available harvest or compromises other specific management objectives, the director may authorize a limited participation fishery in extreme terminal fishing areas in order to provide additional opportunities for net fisheries where they might not otherwise exist. Such a fishery may be authorized for experimental or developmental fisheries, fisheries necessary to refine run size data, fisheries necessary to provide biological information, or in cases where: (a) Other specific management objectives have been stated for the species and area in question; or (b) There is a reasonable expectation that foregone opportunity will be claimed and the harvestable surplus cannot be carried forward to the next year of harvest; and (c) Full-fleet participation with time, space, or gear restrictions cannot achieve the harvest goal. (2) Only licensed commercial salmon fishers may participate in a limited participation fishery. Only one listing is allowed per license. Fishers who wish to have their name placed on a limited participation register must mark the appropriate box on their license renewal application, or so notify the department, in writing, by July 31st. Interested fishers must provide a message phone number at which they may be contacted. (3) Each year the department will, from the list of interested fishers, use random selection to create a priority list for gill net fishers and a priority list for purse seine fishers. Priority registers will be available for inspection at the department's Olympia office, or upon written request to the department. Once the priority lists have been created, sale or transfer of the license shall invalidate the receiver from participation in that year's limited participation fishery. (4) The number of units of each gear type selected to participate in a limited participation fishery will reflect the most recent ratio of gear types in the full-fleet fishery directed at the species in question, except when conservation concerns, biological data collection needs, or specific management objectives dictate alternative ratios or use of a single gear type. (5) When a limited participation fishery is authorized, the department will contact fishers from the priority register at least twenty-four hours prior to the opening of the fishery. When a fisher cannot be contacted after reasonable effort, the department will select the next name, until the maximum number of allowable units of gear is reached. If not reached, the fisher's name will remain at the priority position, but the fisher may not participate in that limited participation fishery. Agreement to participate, or declining to participate, will remove the fisher from the priority position, and place the name at the bottom of the priority list. (6) Examples of specific management objectives include but are not limited to: (a) Reducing levels of incidental catch of wild salmon stocks; (b) Reducing incidental catch of nontarget salmon species originating from regions other than the fishing area; or (c) Specific recreational emphasis action.
