Presentation Abstract
The State of the Salish Sea report finds that unrelenting pressure from local urbanization and global climate change is having a negative impact on the Salish Sea. This, in addition to over 150 years of land use and development impacts and we have reached a tipping point. In spite of all of our efforts, our actions to protect and restore habitat and species are not keeping pace with the losses. In this presentation I will focus on suggestions for moving forward with three overarching themes to our work: Acknowledge and Manage the Salish Sea as a Multinational Ecosystem; Prevent Further Harm; and Plan for and Adapt to a Different Future.
