Projection for me Project

The interview that I finally got was very successful and gave me lots of information. This provided me with the background knowledge that I needed for my project and writing my paper. I want to do an advocacy/research paper. We'll see how that turns out, but right now that's kind of what I want to do. As for the effects of climate change on salmon I have come across some interesting diagrams and figures.

I want to include those in the signs I hope to put up for my advocacy part. I'm thinking I want to post signs in local parks, someone gave me an idea of putting signs up at Ballard Locks, I was also thinking about around the Duwamish River parks and whatnot (that's where I did my public event), and various areas around Seattle and parks. I think these informational fliers will discuss and show how climate change is affecting salmon runs and how salmon are important to this area.

I also want to continue to look at tribes in the area and what they're doing to help salmon runs and their predictions for the year. The interview I had was very helpful in figuring out what tribes and cities are doing, how this is effecting everyone in the long run and how its effecting other species and plants, entire ecosystems. As I dig into this I want it to get the word out and show what is happening to our prized salmon.
