Nanaimo Summer Chinook

This scientific briefing was developed to support leadership, with a focus on maintaining scientific integrity, staff capacity, and continuity of core programs.

The report synthesized institutional knowledge, program structures, and active research commitments to clearly articulate risks, opportunities, and pathways forward. Emphasis was placed on transparency, evidence-based assessment, and practical recommendations that could be acted on immediately while supporting longer-term stability.

The briefing was designed not as an audit or critique, but as a tool — providing clarity during uncertainty and helping decision-makers navigate change while safeguarding people, partnerships, and scientific outcomes.
