Salish Sea Institute




Support our work to engage students and the community in the protection of the Salish Sea


Dear Friends of the Salish Sea Institute,

We appreciate your support to sustain our work! In addition to teaching students about the history, ecology and management of the Salish Sea, we work with a variety of scholars and researchers to share relevant science to the community through publications and webinars. We also run a Salish Sea Fellows program. You can find more info at our website

Salish Sea Studies provides appreciation for this place!

We are seeing enormous interest in the new Salish Sea Studies minor – enrollment in the minor is now over 50 students and we've graduated over 40. 


We created a Network of Hope for the Salish Sea 

In November, author and hope advocate Elin     Kelsey facilitated a second Hope for the Salish Sea workshop for environmental leaders from BC and Washington.
