A Safe Operating Space for Salmon Watersheds Under Rapid Climate Change
Local watershed management can exacerbate or ameliorate oncoming climate risks to important aquatic ecosystems. Even as there is a global need to address climate change, local watershed stewardship c....

New paper! #fishsci #bcpoli

Our study reveals that Pacific salmon in British Columbia face a fragmented policy landscape that fails to manage the combined impacts of industrial development and climate change.

Read the paper here:

Thread with key take-aways 👇
Pacific salmon suffer from a myriad of cuts, laws, and jurisdictions. Pacific salmon are facing unprecedented pressures from a multitude of stressors – all regulated under separate laws that rarely account for their combined impact. Image shows the salmon life cycle impacted by numerous human activities including mines, urban development, forest harvest, crop production, ports, aquaculture, predator control, fishing, hatchery operations, and CO2 emissions. Each activity is connected to various laws and policies across multiple jurisdictions (e.g., municipal, federal, provincial, and international). A pathway forward for managing multiple stressors: Collaborative, on-the-ground monitoring can support flexible and cautious management, enabling regional CEAs can help align decision-making with true scale of environmental and social risks, and local limits can be set by establishing legal objectives through spatial planning.

"As a scientist who studies the health of western Canada’s oceans, rivers, and salmon, my alarm bells are going off."

This op-ed is worth your time. Welcome to Bluesky, @jon-moore.bsky.social!

Published an op-ed the other day--fast-tracking actions to protect lands, waters, fish, and wildlife.

BC and Canadian policies are rushing natural resource extraction forward--there is a parallel need to fast-track safeguards of lands and waters.
