![]() ![]() Salmon in a changing salmosphere: to understand and quantify the effects of natural environmental variability and anthropogenic factors affecting salmon distribution and abundance and to make projections of their future changes.Status of Salmon: to understand the present status of salmon and their environment.The following broad scientific themes have been identified for the IYS: Outreach and research will be planned at three spatial scales-the hemispheric or “ salmosphere” scale, the basin scale (Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic or Baltic), and at the local coastal level. The IYS organization includes independent Pacific and Atlantic IYS steering committees, which will include key partners and oversee outreach activities, identify research priorities, support fund raising and establish reporting procedures. The IYS will stimulate an investment in research and leave a legacy of knowledge, data/information systems, tools, and a new generation of scientists better equipped to provide timely advice to inform rational management of salmon and build resilience for salmon and people. Through outreach efforts the IYS will raise awareness of what humans can do to better ensure salmon and their varied habitats are conserved and restored against the backdrop of increasing environmental variability, and thus the overall theme is ‘ salmon and people in a changing world‘. The IYS is an international framework for collaborative outreach and research. The IYS focal year will be 2019, with projects and activities starting in 2018 and continuing into 2022. The International Year of the Salmon (IYS) is a project launched by NPAFC and the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) and other partners. ![]() ![]() ![]() Visit the IYS website for events and projects near you! ![]()
