I liked the title, "Who's in Charge?" Maybe Riddell knows.
Pacific Salmon – Who’s in Charge?
Pacific salmon are an iconic species on the west coast and if you care about salmon, you can not be complacent about their care. It is impossible to over emphasize the importance of salmon in our history or in the ecology of the Pacific Northwest and especially now under the threat of climate change. This talk will consider the current state of salmon and knowledge, the array of threats to them, and changes in thinking about who is ultimately accountable for their care. Dr. Riddell, presently the CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation, will review the health of salmon in BC and what could be done to better protect salmon.
Dr. Riddell is the former Division Head of the Salmon and Freshwater Ecosystems Section, Science Branch, Fisheries and Oceans Canada. After 30 years within the Department, he is now the CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation. Dr. Riddell has received numerous awards for his work in salmon conservation and management, and is one of Canada’s most respected and decorated salmon researchers and managers.
Speaker: Dr. Brian Riddell, CEO Pacific Salmon Foundation
