Makah National Fish Hatchery Climate Change Vulnerability Analysis Final Report and Associated Appendices

This report and its associated appendices analyze the sensitivity, exposure, impact, adaptive capacity, and vulnerability of Makah National Fish Hatchery and its fall Chinook, coho salmon, winter steelhead trout broodstock broodstock
The reproductively mature adults in a population that breed (or spawn) and produce more individuals (offspring or progeny).

programs and any supplemental programs to the long-term trends in climate and increased likelihood of extreme weather events that could significantly affect USbet365下载ios programs and hatcheries in the Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region.  

The bet365下载ios (USbet365下载ios) is assessing the vulnerability of its National Fish Hatcheries (NFHs) in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in response to projected future climates. The Assessment Team has completed climate change climate change
Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. Though there have been previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century humans have had an unprecedented impact on Earth's climate system and caused change on a global scale.

vulnerability assessments (CCVAs) for Winthrop NFH (USbet365下载ios 2013), Quilcene NFH (USbet365下载ios 2016), Makah NFH (USbet365下载ios 2019) Warm Springs NFH (2021) and Entiat NFH (2021). These assessments are focused on NFH vulnerabilities at the hatchery and local watershed levels and are motivated by long-term trends in climate and the increased likelihood of extreme weather events that could significantly affect USbet365下载ios programs and hatcheries in the Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region. Other agencies are evaluating climate change vulnerabilities of anadromous salmonid fishes in the marine environment and freshwater migration corridors. 2 The report presented here represents the USbet365下载ios鈥檚 CCVA for Warm Springs NFH in central Oregon.

Adult Chinook salmon swimming in McAllister Springs in Washington State
Since 1871 the National Fish Hatchery system has been at work improving recreational fishing and restoring aquatic species that are in decline, at risk, and are important to the health of our aquatic systems. Across the country, the network of National Fish Hatcheries work with states and tribes to...
