Workshop Summaries
Salmon 2050 Workshop 1: Drivers of Change
October 2015
At the first Salmon 2050 Workshop "Drivers of Change" in October 2015 there were 11
agencies (Kenai Field Office-USFWS; Sport Fish-ADFG; Planning-KPB; Parks and Recreation-ADNR;
Kenai National Wildlife Refuge-USFWS; EPA; Subsistence-ADFG; Division of Habitat-ADFG;
City of Kenai; ADEC; Kenaitze Indian Tribe), providing an excellent cross-section
of the decision makers on the Kenai. Together they were able to identify the top six
uncertainties facing the Kenai, the top three issues / decisions facing the Kenai,
and the six key actors in the community. For more information on the details of the
workshop please review the summary reports.
Drivers of Change Workshop 1 Products:
- Summary Report: 3-page PDF describing proceedings at the workshop
- Powerpoint: 33-page PDF of slide presentation given at workshop
After the first workshop, a team of University of Alaska researchers with expertise
in GIS, economics, social science, ecology, and community planning gathered scientific
data in line with the uncertainties identified by the stakeholders. Researchers presented
much of this data in preparation for the second workshop.
Salmon 2050 Workshop 2: Scenario Implications
May 2016
In May 2016, the second Salmon 2050 Workshop, "Scenario Implications", harnessed local
expertise once again with the goal of producing a series of plausible storylines that
link the uncertainties to specific management options, leading to more realistic scenarios.
To do this they defined the past and future implications of the uncertainties that
were developed in the first workshop, mapped the implications onto physical maps,
and began to craft narratives for each of the scenarios.
Scenario Implications Workshop 2 Products:
- Summary Report: 2-page PDF describing proceedings at the workshop, including brief draft scenarios
- Powerpoint: 71-page PDF of slide presentation given at workshop
- First (Discussion) Draft of Scenario Narratives: 5-page PDF containing descriptions of "straw man" scenarios
- The Four C's: Clarification, Compliments, Concerns and Changes to the Scenario Narratives: 1-page PDF table evaluating strengths and weaknesses of the 5 proposed scenarios
- Past and Future Implications of Uncertainties: 12-page PDF discussing ramifications of each of the six top uncertainties (see graphic to right)
