"Fishing communities have first-hand, local ecological knowledge, and while their assessment of climate vulnerability may differ from vulnerability as measured by subject experts, it’s a critical piece of the puzzle." - Dr. Laura Nelson washingtonnature.org/fieldno…

New research published in @PLOSClimate shows that climate change is often not the greatest immediate concern for fishing communities operating along the U.S. West Coast. nature.org/en-us/newsroom/cl…

With support from @LenfestOcean @pewenvironment, @OceanModeling & colleagues developed statistical tools to make sustainability assessments much more tractable for data-poor regions. A lot more work is needed

Led by Dr. Laura Nelson, the study assessed fishers operating in the California Current along Washington, Oregon & California, about the degree to which they personally felt vulnerable to climate change and the ability of the industry to respond and adapt. nature.org/en-us/newsroom/cl…

How do fishers view vulnerability and the impacts of climate change on fisheries? A new research study published this week by Dr. Laura Nelson et al. in the journal PLOS Climate looked at 162 surveys conducted with fishers across CA, OR, and WA
