Climate change is affecting ocean processes and fisheries, impacting natural ecosystems and human communities.

This ten-year initiative aims to develop an international ocean intelligence system capable of assessing changes and predicting impacts on local ecosystems and communities, using salmon as an exemplar species. Salmon are culturally, economically, and ecologically important in North Pacific and Atlantic basins. They
integrate cumulative effects of change in freshwater and oceans and highlight these effects to human communities. Currently, our knowledge of the inter-connections between climate, oceans, and salmon are insufficient to predict change and develop resilience. This effort will provide this knowledge.
