Abstract

This report was produced as a result of a workshop including 33 participants from provincial government ministries, First Nations communities, research organizations, and academic institutions, held by WCS Canada in partnership with The Kresge Foundation. The participants sought to synthesize information about the potential impacts of climate change on freshwater fish in northern Ontario, with a focus on identifying more vulnerable fish species, generating research and monitoring recommendations, and exploring land use and adaptation options.
