Outreach and Advocacy
Researchers collect data to understand TDC in salmon better. How do we take the new data and information to make an impact? In this lesson, students will engage with different ways to share out the results of their project and make an impact in their local communities.
Agricultural Connections
Agricultural Connections
A collaboration of organizations, researchers, and farmers have led to the beginnings of a restoration project in the Central Valley floodplains. Researchers have discovered that the Central Valley floodplains, in which rice is farmed, is an ideal habitat for the threatened Chinook salmon that migrate through the Central Valley. This lesson focuses on the collaboration between farmers and researchers, as well as the potential benefits and consequences of opening rice fields to salmon populations.
Genetics and Evolution
Genetics and Evolution
Recent research suggests that salmon reproductive maturation and migration timing is determined by a single gene region. The lesson discusses the research as well as the potential implications of the research findings on conservation efforts.
Connections to Culture
Connections to Culture
Chinook salmon have sustained Indigenous populations for generations and are of great cultural significance. However, due to the construction of dams and other human activities, salmon populations have not reached historical spawning grounds in decades. This lesson explores the cultural connections, as well as the outreach of Indigenous peoples to raise awareness about the importance of protecting salmon and their waters.
