30th Anniversary Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference To Convene In Seattle
More than 1,300 scientists, policy makers and other interested parties are attending next week鈥檚 in Seattle.
The meeting happens every two years and alternates between the U.S. and Canada. This year, the 30th anniversary since the first one took place in 1988, there鈥檚 an emphasis on ecosystem recovery across the international border.
The biology and resources of the Salish Sea don鈥檛 abide by political borders, so those working to protect the ecosystem often look for ways to get past them too.
But it鈥檚 harder than you鈥檇 think, says Ginny Broadhurst. She鈥檚 Executive Director of the at Western Washington University and one of the planners of the conference.
