Discussion:
A hypothesis on changes needed to integrate climate information into sustainable
salmon management policies.
The session began with a brief presentation on
the conclusions from the Mantua and Francis paper “Natural
Climate Insurance for Pacific Northwest Salmon and Salmon Fisheries…” (see
background papers). Participants were asked to discuss whether they
agree or disagree with the findings. (discussion
