Dynamics of kelp forests, salmon, and forage fish

Join Dr. Anne Shaffer, Executive Director and Lead Scientist of the Coastal Watershed Institute, as she describes the fascinating details of the Pacific Northwest’s nearshore coastal ecosystems, including kelp forests, and how our iconic species such as salmon and forage fish depend on them. Human interactions with these zones will also be discussed as will the results of several of their large, ecosystem scale restoration projects.
