Climate Adaptation Framework
Salmon Habitat in a Changing ClimateThe Coast Salmon Partnership aims to use habitat protection and restoration tools to improve the resilience of salmonid species to climate impacts. Our Climate Adaptation Framework is geographically focused on Washington’s Pacific coast and gives both practitioners and planners a forward-looking perspective on how their actions can contribute to future resilience of habitat for salmon, steelhead, trout, and char in the region.

Planning Workshops
The Coast Salmon Partnership’s Climate Adaptation Framework was built collaboratively using best available science and local knowledge. Between 2021 and 2023, the Coast Salmon Partnership hosted three workshops to seek input and feedback. We appreciate the more than 100 participants who contributed their technical and policy expertise to these discussions.
