Incorporate climate change into salmon recovery and habitat restoration/conservation plans. The anticipated effects of climate change on salmon should be integrated into existing and new management plans. Beechie et al. (2012) outline potential decision making processes for adapting salmon recovery plans to climate change based on four guiding questions: What habitats limit salmon recovery? Do climate change scenarios alter salmon restoration plans or priorities? Does the plan or action ameliorate a predicted climate effect? Does the plan or action increase habitat diversity and salmon population resilience? Finding the answers to these questions must be guided by the best available science. Unfortunately, although there are several regional assessments of the vulnerabilities of salmon to climate change, there is a paucity of fine-scale analyses necessary for local planning efforts. As such, conducting species and habitat vulnerability assessments should go hand-in-hand with updates to management plans. Additional information can be found in Restoring Salmon Habitat for a Changing Climate (Beechie et al. 2012).
