Webinar: Turning Ecological Stream Classifications into Actionable Science Active

By Climate Adaptation Science Centers November 17, 2015

View this webinar to learn about stream classification efforts in Hawai'i.

Date Recorded

Tuesday, November 17, 2015

Summary

Hawai'i’s freshwater streams are home to a unique assemblage of endemic fish, shrimp and snails that are threatened by human land uses and a changing climate.  Management products that support decision making in light of current and future threats are therefore needed to direct on the ground conservation.  With support from the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center's Science to Action Fellowship program, Ralph Tingley worked with stakeholders in Hawai'i, including the Hawai'i Fish Habitat Partnership, to incorporate a recently completed ecological classification of stream reaches into products that promote actionable science.  Besides highlighting these products, this seminar will cover development of the stream reach classification, including its finalization through stakeholder input, as well as next steps being taken to improve decision making about where and how to conserve Hawaiian stream habitats.
