Integrate contemporary climate change projections and information into management of all traditionally-harvested species. Changing climate conditions can affect the vitality and availability of traditional resources and traditional food. These changes can impact the effectiveness of management practices and health and vitality of traditional use areas. The Tribe can enhance the resilience of these stated above by not just planning or restoring ecosystems for the conditions today, but for the conditions of tomorrow. Climate science is constantly improving and relevant updates should be incorporated into management plans and practices to assist and support existing TEK practices used for sustainability. This can be applied to shellfish hatchery planning, salmon management efforts, and other relevant resources/species.
