Open Session - HYBRID
Room: Mogens Zielerstuen (1422-125)
Session description:
This dialogue-centered session aims to bring together funders, salmon community members, and research leaders to explore how sustained, co-produced salmon observing can strengthen Arctic resilience. The Salmon Expert Panel, convened under the Research Networking Activities for Sustained Coordinated Observations of Arctic Change (RNA CoObs) and the Sustained Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) Roadmap for Observing and Data Systems (ROADS) initiative, is advancing equitable and community-driven salmon observing systems in the Bristol Bay watershed of Alaska. Co-created by Indigenous leaders, local knowledge holders, fisheries managers, and researchers, the panel integrates ecological, social, and cultural knowledge to identify critical observing gaps from river to sea. The session will include a presentation from Salmon EP co-leads on the work of the panel, followed by an open discussion on strategies for long-term investment, integration, and alignment across observing networks.
