Global warming is opening up thousands of miles of new habitat for salmon along the coast of Alaska and western Canada, a team of Canadian, American, and Swiss scientists report in a peer-reviewed study this week. The study, “Glacier retreat creating new Pacific salmon habitat in western North America,” highlights that rivers of water are far more bountiful for life than rivers of solid ice.
“Glacier retreat is creating new streams and lakes that salmon can colonize” and “creating frontiers for emerging fisheries,” the study reports.
The study, published in Nature Communications, finds that nearly 4,000 miles of new salmon habitat will likely open up by the year 2100, with more than 1,000 miles of that habitat being well-suited for spawning.
