Hot water: a conversation with Science Advisor Dr. Jonathan Armstrong |
|
|
In a warming world, the race is on to predict the future’s best salmon rivers. Dr. Jonathan Armstrong, a Wild Salmon Center Science Advisor and Oregon State University ecology professor, is holding onto his chips. “When we talk about ‘climate smart planning,’ we often end up trying to pick winners and losers,” he says. “But that’s a pretty harsh zero-sum game.” In a recent conversation, Dr. Armstrong shares why the future of one "loser"—the Klamath system—is looking particularly bright these days.

On December 11, many of you tuned in to Wild Salmon Center's first-ever Mongolia Program livestream webinar. Participants heard the latest on our International Taimen Initiative from Mongolia Senior Program Manager Dr. Saulyegul Avlyush, Science Director Dr. Matt Sloat, and Wild Fish Manager James Losee. Our experts also took some pretty insightful audience questions about taimen, the world's largest salmonid—and the challenges they face, from climate change to hydropower development and habitat degradation.

Remembering Ehor Boyanowsky, a steelheader with a passion for conservation |
|
|
Ehor Boyanowsky was a gentleman angler. A “bon vivant.” A criminology professor who loved hunting, English setters, and good scotch. Above all, says Wild Salmon Center founder Pete Soverel (above with Boyanowsky’s partner Cristina Martini, center, and Boyanowsky, right), he was a steelheader with a passion for conservation. “Ehor’s legacy was in forging and shaping the direction of Wild Salmon Center,” Soverel says. Boyanowsky, a longtime WSC board member, passed away this fall. Soverel and WSC President & CEO Guido Rahr pay tribute to his legacy.
