ALGONQUIN DEFINING MOMENTS

Episode 51: Habitat Impacts due to Climate Change

In this episode, I’m focusing on sharing some of the latest research and thinking on how climate change may impact the habitats of Algonquin. Specific focus is on the work on both climate projections overall and the expected impacts to fish habitats.
