| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
This paper summarizes key results from a study to assess the vulnerability of coho salmon habitats across the Cariboo-Chilcotin (Nelitz et al. 2009). Other papers provide similar summaries for Chinook salmon (Porter and Nelitz 2009a) and bull trout (Porter and Nelitz 2009b). This study is the first of its kind for the Cariboo-Chilcotin (study area boundary in Figure 1). This paper starts by setting the context for understanding vulnerability by briefly summarizing existing information on coho populations from the region, and then presenting results from the assessment. The hope is that regional decision makers can use these results to make choices today that will benefit human communities, freshwater habitats, and coho populations of the Cariboo-Chilcotin in the future. |
