Pathways to Resilience:
Sustaining Pacific Salmon in a Changing World
In April, 2007, Oregon Sea Grant hosted an interdisciplinary forum to explore the concept of resilience and its application to ecosystem management in general and salmon recovery in particular. This page takes off from where that conference wound up.
The intent of the conference was to bridge traditional boundaries between the natural and social sciences and to broaden the discussion among scientists, resource managers, practitioners, and policy makers.
Conference participants considered both the attributes of resilient ecosystems in which salmon populations thrive and the implications for developing alternative approaches to conservation.
Interest in continuing the dialog and reflections, begun so well at the Portland conference, is high, and this page will serve as a gateway to additional information on the topic of resilience, both from the conference and as it emerges.
