Climate change

Climate Change and Northern Abalone

SeaDoc sponsored research:

In Washington, Northern abalone are in decline and exhibit recruitment failure despite closure of the fishery. The long-term persistence of northern abalone in this region is a concern in light of threats from ocean warming. The likelihood of future ocean warming poses challenges for abalone restoration, suggesting that improved monitoring and protection will be critical.

The SeaDoc Society sponsored researcher Laura Rogers-Bennett's invetigation into Northern and Flat Abalone. See the citation and download the PDF.

Why our work matters

Healthy ecosystems support economic prosperity. The Salish Sea provides abundant natural capital that contributes substantially to the financial prosperity of the region. Unhealthy ecosystems cost money because we lose the opportunity to benefit from them. The Salish Sea's deteriorating health threatens our economic well being and quality of life. SeaDoc uses science to find solutions to the problems facing the fish, wildlife and people of the Salish Sea.

How you can help:

Make a donation: Most of SeaDoc's work is supported by private donations from people like you who care about the health of our coastal ecosystems. Your donation makes it possible for us to keep doing the science that will give us objective information about designing a healthy ecosystem that benefits both people and wildlife.
