Description:The SWFSC has a comprehensive strategic planning and implementation process that aligns SWFSC science with direction from the Department of Commerce, NOAA, and NMFS, and the needs of its customers. DOC, NOAA, NMFS and the SWFSC produce periodically-updated strategic plans and annual documents that outline high-priority research needs across the SWFSC’s diverse study areas. This document aims to offer more specific guidance to scientists at the SWFSC working in the area of salmon recovery. Pacific salmon1 and steelhead are important species for tribal, commercial, and recreational fisheries; are of high interest to the general public due to their iconic status; and play important roles in freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems. The history and current status of salmon in California is complex: a litany of loss interspersed with examples of resilience. The future of salmon in California is in doubt, but one certainty is that their recovery and sustainability will depend on the effectiveness of conservation actions taken in the face of an increasingly variable and rapidly warming climate and changing ocean.
