The salmon watersheds of western North America are being rapidly transformed by climate change in addition to the pressure exerted by industrial land-uses. Jonathan studies forward-looking and collaborative science and stewardship of salmon ecosystems. For instance, warming water temperatures can harm sensitive salmon, on the other hand, glacier retreat is creating new rivers and lakes for salmon, but these nascent habitats are also the location of active mining. This talk will showcase the need for climate change action and local opportunities to increase climate resilience.
