    Climate Change Presention For Council FY15

    The document discusses several impacts of climate change on the Pacific Northwest region including rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and rising temperatures. It specifically notes that the Squaxin Islands shorelines will change as global sea levels are projected to rise 1-4 feet by 2100 and that sea level rise is one of the five major threats to the Northwest region. Additionally, it outlines how forage fish populations that support salmon and tribal fisheries are at risk from climate change impacts to the marine ecosystem. The document concludes by proposing next steps to map projected sea level rise impacts on Squaxin Islands habitats, develop strategies to sustain shellfish and forage fish habitats, and distribute findings to Tribal Council.

    Mitigate?

    Forage Fish at
    Risk

    Forage fish are a crucial link


    in the food web which
    supports healthy salmon
    populations and tribal fishing.
    Forage fish are a key
    component of the marine
    ecosystem in Washington.
    Many call forage fish the fuel
    of marine food webs.

    What's Next?
    1. Only the beginning
    2. Develop a map of Squaxin
    Islands projected sea level
    rise and habitat loss
    3. Develop a strategy to sustain
    Shellfish and Forage Fish
    habitat
    4. Distribute findings through
    presentations and reports to
    Tribal Council
