New Study Identifies How Climate Change in Alaska Watersheds Impact Chinook Salmon Sustainability
In a data-rich new study, Alaska scientists are learning how climate change has impacted 15 Chinook salmon runs in south central Alaska over the past nearly 30 years. The study marks the first time scientists have identified how climate change is impacting Chinook salmon in freshwater rivers and streams. In their research, says Mary Catherine Martin of SeaState, they have found a silver lining.
"The upside: we have more ability to mitigate climate impacts in freshwater than in the ocean,” Martin wrote in an email about ...
