“…Many populations are diminished or have declined dramatically in recent decades (Governor's Salmon Recovery Office, 2018; Gustafson et al., 2007; Malick & Cox, 2016; Price, English, Rosenberger, MacDuffee, & Reynolds, 2017). This has led to curtailed fisheries (Ogden et al, 2014; Walters, English, Korman, & Hilborn, 2019), loss of livelihoods, erosion of the cultural identities of Indigenous communities (Garibaldi & Turner, 2004) and potential adverse impacts on coastal ecosystems (Levi et al., 2012). National policies, such as Canada's Wild Salmon Policy (WSP; Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2005, 2018), recognize the need for a strategic prioritization of management actions (Nelitz, Murray, & Wieckowski, 2008), however, there currently is no strategic framework in Canada for determining how and where to invest limited resources across multiple threats to maximize the probability of recovering salmon populations.…”
