Welcome to the Salmon Run Forecasting Workshop! We are excited to facilitate a dynamic and interactive session where practitioners and consumers of salmon run forecasts can come together to share insights, explore challenges, and discuss solutions.


Workshop Goals

  • Foster meaningful interactions and discussions among participants.

  • Create an inviting and informal atmosphere to encourage open dialogue of the uses and limitations of run forecasting for decision-making.

  • Engage in hands-on analysis and collaborative exploration of salmon run forecasting. Thursday Afternoon Hands-On Analysis:

  • We have scheduled a hands-on analysis session for Thursday afternoon.

  • Participants are encouraged to bring their own data for this session.

  • To streamline the process, please install the {ForecastR} package on your laptop prior to the workshop or visit the online shinyapp

  • Also be sure to review the documentation. This will help us save time and make the most of our analysis activities.


Discussion leads

  • We are still looking for volunteers on several topics, see agenda below for details.

  • We thank all of the discussion leads for volunteering their time and expertise.

  • Your role is to set up the topic and initiate the discussion.

  • Please note that this does not require a formal presentation, such as at an AFS meeting. Instead, aim to foster a collaborative conversation.

  • If you wish, you are welcome to use the computer and projector available to introduce topics with visual material and facilitate discussions.


Additional information

  • The workshop is designed to be informal and interactive. Feel free to engage with others, ask questions, and share your experiences.

  • We look forward to a productive and enjoyable workshop experience with all of you. Thank you for your participation and contributions. We are excited to see the collaborative discussions and insights that will emerge!
