Assessing climate-change risks to cultural and natural resources in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, USA
We provide an overview of an interdisciplinary special issue that examines the influence of climate change on people and fish in the Yakima River Basin, USA. Jenni et al. (2013) addresses stakeholder-relevant climate change issues, such as water availability and uncertainty, with decision analysis tools. Montag et al. (2014) explores Yakama Tribal cultural values and well-being and their incorpora

Status and trends monitoring of the mainstem Columbia River: sample frame development and review of programs relevant to the development of an integrated approach to monitoring
Implementing an Integrated Status and Trends Monitoring program (ISTM)
for the mainstem Columbia River will help identify trends in important natural resources and
help us understand the long-term collective effects of management actions. In this report, we
present progress towards the completion of a stepwise process that will facilitate the
development of an ISTM for the mainstem Columbia Ri

Introduction: Tagging, telemetry, and marking compendium project
Goal and Objectives of the Compendium
The goal of this compendium is to integrate profiles of on-going, individual, disparate efforts implementing the science of tagging, telemetry, and marking (TTM) into a compilation of experience to inform the development of fish population monitoring. This is accomplished by meeting the following objectives:
• Provide the region with information and peer revie

Native and Invasive Bivalves in the Pacific Northwest: Co-occurrence, Habitat Associations and Potential Competition in the Face of Climate Change
Native mussels are in precipitous decline across North America. As part of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation’s (CTUIR) First Foods management framework that places significant value on the cultural importance of traditional food resources, they have been identified as a top conservation priority in the Pacific Northwest. Freshwater mussels are a vital component of river ec
