Estuaries and large river deltas in the Pacific Northwest
Essential habitat for wild salmon and other wildlife borders river deltas and estuaries in the Pacific Northwest. These estuaries also support industry, agriculture, and a large human population that’s expected to double by the year 2060, but each could suffer from more severe river floods, higher sea level, and storm surges caused by climate change.

Spawning surveys have documented spawning since 2015 in the Sandusky River leading to expanded surveys and an effort to confine reproduction to the western part of Lake Erie.
