Weatherdon and colleagues found that climate change is likely to reduce the availability of marine species that are of nutritional, cultural, and economic importance to coastal First Nations in British Columbia (BC), Canada, by up to 49% (for Pacific herring), with conservative estimates of losses between $6.7 and $12 million CAD annually.
