Climate Adaptation Framework
Salmon Habitat in a Changing ClimateRestoration to Resilience
Coast Region Symposium: October 2021
In fall 2021, the Coast Salmon Partnership hosted a scientific symposium that addressed climate impacts on salmon habitat and discussed approaches to habitat restoration that provide resiliency to our coastal rivers and fishes in the face of climate change. Speakers were subject matter experts on climate science, salmon biology, freshwater ecology, and restoration techniques. The workshop highlighted the need to address climate resilience of salmon habitat at different scales, including project design and watershed planning. This input was used to finalize our Climate Adaptation Framework Proposal for the Washington Coast Salmon Recovery Region.
