SUMMARY:Science in the Neighborhood: Transforming Pacific salmon recovery\, from genes to ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Science In the Neighborhood\nA public lecture series hosted quarterly by the UC Santa Cruz Science Division \nTransforming Pacific salmon recovery\, from genes to ecosystems\nPresentation by Eric Palkovacs\, Professor\, UC Santa Cruz\nQ&A with Bryan Gaensler\, Dean of Science\, UC Santa Cruz \nRegister here. \nAn endangered Central California Coast coho salmon from the Scott Creek recovery program that UCSC operates in collaboration with NOAA. Photo credit: Joel Sartore / National Geographic Photo Ark.\nFor millennia\, Pacific salmon have been integral to the health of coastal ecosystems and human communities from California to Alaska. Salmon are ecological and cultural keystone species\, connecting marine and freshwater food webs and supporting thriving fisheries. Yet\, wild salmon have declined precipitously due to a combination of factors including dams\, harvest\, hatcheries\, water use—and now\, climate change. \nProfessor Palkovacs\, who leads UC Santa Cruz’s Institute of Marine Sciences and Fisheries Collaborative Program\, will describe transformative approaches to recover wild salmon populations by connecting novel insights from the level of genes to ecosystems. Learn how this integrative research program can provide insights to transform the future for wild Pacific salmon and the ecosystems and fisheries they support. \nThe event is in-person only. Register here. \nMarch 6\, 2026 | 6:00–7:30 p.m.\nCoastal Biology Building. Rm. 110\nUC Santa Cruz Coastal Campus\n130 McAllister Way\nSanta Cruz\, CA 95060 \nThe screenshot below shows where to find the entrance of the Coastal Biology Building.
