Climate Change Effects on Salmon, and Selected Salmon Restoration Projects, Updated Jan 21, 2021

This post will build links to articles on climate change effects on wild salmon. So check back from time to time, and go read/view the posts here, for example, Patagonia's movie Artifishal, item 2. It is one hour 20 minutes. More coming.

I will also write an article on what to do with salmon to adapt to climate change. Go take a look at Peltier Tiles, as they look to me to have lots of application, including electricity generation, cooling water, pumping water up stream and so on.

Peltier Tiles:  https://www.bing.com/search?q=Peltier+Tiles&pc=MOZD&form=MOZLBR. Browse the articles here to gain an understanding of these adaptable items.

121. 1500 KM of Fraser Dams - and other blockages for salmon. They need change: https://watershedsentinel.ca/articles/pump-stations-baby-coho-and-bears-oh-my-a-summer-in-the-field/?mc_cid=0c9bcbde7e&mc_eid=5777c92bcd. And outdated flood prevention structures.

120. Climate Change and Atlantic Salmon - a very good paper: https://www.asf.ca/atlantic-salmon-journal/too-hot-to-handle-salmon-and-climate. One of the points made: "Regardless, conservationists and anglers are not only safeguarding chilly refuges, they’re enhancing them. Since 2014, the Miramichi Salmon Association has completed nine cold-water restoration projects, using heavy machinery to deepen holes, deflect flows from creek mouths into the main current, and install boulders to make cold pools even more enticing. Smarter forestry management can help, too. Protecting forests in the headwaters of the Miramichi watershed, and leaving broad riparian buffers bracketing streams, slows down runoff after rainstorms, reducing erosion and keeping chilly water in the river longer. “We don’t think forestry regulations are stringent enough to protect cold water and flows,” Wilbur says."This suggests that Peltier Tiles would be good additions for cooling river water, in rivers of the right size. Find the cold pools, and install the Tiles.

119. Salmon Trap - a selective way to fish for certain species of salmon. This should become more common: https://vimeo.com/397820822.                                         

118. Offshore Salmon Research - US, CDN, Russia, scientists: https://www.thecordovatimes.com/2020/04/28/gulf-of-alaska-expedition-ends-with-new-salmon-data/?mc_cid=ba6438752f&mc_eid=5777c92bcd.

117.

This is about preventing habitat loss, the other side of habitat restoration. You don't have to restore it, if you don't destroy it. And Qualicum bylaws had to be circumnavigated to issue permits.

116. Chehalis Basin Strategy - USA, more to the river than just a new dam, lots of downstream projects for fish, etc.: http://www.chronline.com/opinion/eric-schwartz-commentary-focus-on-dam-and-dam-alone-shows-an-incomplete-look-at-chehalis/article_541997a4-84e5-11ea-959d-5f4596a3f4a2.html?mc_cid=ba6438752f&mc_eid=5777c92bcd. "The Chehalis Basin Strategy has already resulted in dozens of localized flood reduction projects throughout the basin, proof that it involved much more than simply placing a dam on the Chehalis River. Likewise, the massive aquatic species protection and restoration plan — a critical element of the strategy — is still being drafted and could be complete by the fall or winter, Vander Stoep said."

Note fish passway underneath the dam:

Article has info on how stocks have plummeted and may go extinct. "Bev Sellars, the former long-time chief of the Xat’sull (Soda Creek) First Nation based in Williams Lake, says that she and many others have been warning FOC since the 1970s that Fraser salmon are in trouble. She’s frustrated that the warnings of Indigenous people, particularly on the upper Fraser, have not been translated into FOC action." As I have been saying: “If there’s any hope for [Fraser] salmon, the fish have to be put front and forward, and everything they need to survive needs to be looked at,” she says. “If things don’t change, salmon are already in trouble, and in a few years, they are going to be gone completely.” Fin Donnelly: "Former federal NDP fisheries critic Fin Donnelly concurs. He is now rallying government, First Nations, NGOs, labour and the private sector to raise $500 million to restore salmon habitat and “climate proof” the entire 21 million-hectare Fraser watershed (more than a quarter of B.C.) over the coming decades."

"MSC concerns with B.C. included deficiencies in monitoring (e.g., knowing how many fish return to their natal streams), unclear hatchery-wild fish interactions, and insufficient information about the fish being caught accidentally when specific salmon are targeted. “This was all really basic, fish management 101 stuff,” says Taylor. “And they couldn’t do it.”"
