Over the last century, the Salish Sea region has experienced declines and outright losses of species; degradation and loss of critical wildlife habitat; contamination of lands and waters; and myriad other environmental problems. Climate impacts are here, exacerbating much of this and raising new concerns such as ocean acidification, sea level rise and higher storm surges.
We tend to hear a lot about the problems, and less about how countless organizations, Tribes, agencies, First Nations and community groups are making a difference in recovering species, improving habitat conditions, upholding treaty rights and mitigating the impacts of climate.
Ginny Broadhurst is the founding Director of the Salish Sea Institute at WWU. Her presentation will provide a sample of important restoration and protection work occurring in the region. It will also offer some insights and tips for how and where to find hope about the Salish Sea and the planet.
This event is part of the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Lummi Island Heritage Trust. Learn more about the Trust’s work here: https://www.liht.org/
