vulnerable to impacts from human        
interference1 including development     
pressures and climate change2 ,whereas  

drawing on science1 indigenous          
knowledge1 and the experience of        
fishers1 policymakers1 resource         
managers1 and others is essential to    
conserve salmon2 ,whereas people can
