Summer of the Salmon

This first week has been exciting. I have learned so much in so little time. The project I have been placed on will consist of the analysis of change in habitat opportunity for salmon and lamprey, salmon being the focus of my part. This project will apply filtered criteria to the suggestions of the renegotiation, or termination of most of the provisions, of the Columbia River Treaty. This week has been all about getting familiar with the Columbia River ecosystem, salmon and lamprey life cycles, climate change for the Pacific Northwest, and the Columbia River Treaty.The knowledge learned so far is incredible and I look forward to the outcome of this treaty renegotiation between the U.S and Canada. The future of this summer is looking to be amazing!
