Watershed Coalition tracks salmon stream temp trends

The Southeast Alaska Watershed Coalition plans to record the temperature of salmon streams across Southeast Alaska over the next two years. The project aims to collect the data to measure climate change’s affect on Alaska’s most prominent fish, leaving behind eggs, which turn into fry the next spring and eventually smolt before going out to sea. Each species has a timed lifecycle with many factors affecting future populations, stream temperatures being among them.
