Abstract Excerpt:
Salmon are crucial to the environmental, cultural, and economic health of western North America from California to the Arctic. Robust and resilient Pacific salmon populations that support thriving ecosystems, Indigenous rights and cultures, and local economies require effective and ongoing stewardship. However, many salmon fisheries and salmon populations are in crisis. Our communities are working hard toward salmon recovery but need additional assistance to achieve recovery and support salmon resiliency. At the same time, rapid climate change is making our path to success more difficult.
