This paper addresses the impacts of climate change on salmon fishery governance in the Columbia River Basin of the Pacific Northwest U.S. Here the physical and ecological effects of climate change are expected to be significant and to include alterations in freshwater and marine aquatic habitat that will affect the...
In most decision making involving natural resources, the achievements of the policy (e.g., better ecosystem) are rather difficult to measure in monetary units.
