One hundred-seventy years of stressors erode salmon fishery climate resilience in California's warming landscape

Stuart H. Munsch et al.

Summary: This article examines the decline of the salmon fishery in California's Central Valley due to climate change and human actions. It finds that the fishery has lost its climate resilience and emphasizes the importance of protecting complex, less-modified ecosystems for sustainable productivity and ecological services.

Indigenous Systems of Management for Culturally and Ecologically Resilient Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) Fisheries

William Atlas et al.

Summary: Indigenous management of Pacific salmon demonstrates the wisdom and sustainability of multigenerational local knowledge, contrasting sharply with contemporary management. Vulnerabilities in colonial governance and harvest management have led to declining salmon resources in many areas. Revitalizing traditional salmon management systems can improve prospects for sustainable fisheries and healthy fishing communities.

Quantifying lost and inaccessible habitat for Pacific salmon in Canada's Lower Fraser River

Riley J. R. Finn et al.

Summary: The loss of connectivity caused by anthropogenic barriers poses a significant threat to migratory freshwater species, particularly salmonids with their anadromous life history. Research on 14 salmon populations in the Lower Fraser River in British Columbia revealed that only 15% of historically accessible floodplain habitat remains accessible today. This study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of barriers on habitat accessibility for guiding restoration efforts and addressing declining salmon populations.

Prioritizing threat management across terrestrial and freshwater realms for species conservation and recovery

Abbey E. Camaclang et al.

Summary: The urgent need to manage threats to biodiversity efficiently has led to the recognition of cross-realm conservation management as a cost-effective approach, requiring collaboration between agencies and local knowledge. Priority Threat Management (PTM) facilitates rapid, cross-realm planning at a regional scale through stakeholder engagement and structured expert elicitation, aiming to secure ecological groups and species. Investment in strategic management can significantly increase probabilities of persistence for biodiversity, with PTM supporting timely and cost-effective management across multiple realms through a structured, iterative process involving stakeholder cooperation.
