Meet Dr. Tasha Thompson
Our first Polsky Science Fellow is building a groundbreaking genetics map for Pacific Chinook and steelhead.
Our Science program conducts research and draws together the best available information, so that we and our partners can best conserve and sustainably use the North Pacific’s wild salmon ecosystems. We take a networked approach to science, collaborating with scientists, institutions, nonprofit partners, and citizens around the Pacific Rim.
Learn about our recent projects and the implications for wild salmon.
Our first Polsky Science Fellow is building a groundbreaking genetics map for Pacific Chinook and steelhead.
New research from scientists including WSC’s Dr. Matt Sloat suggests that protecting genetic diversity could help save the world’s largest salmonid.
To recover Olympic Peninsula steelhead, we need consensus on the science and history of the species’ decline. A new online approach offers Washington Coast steelheaders a chance to get it right.
