A bioregion is a Place where local culture is shaped by, and adapted to a shared ecology, as informed by the philosophy of Bioregionalism. The appropriate Scale and method for delineating or defining bioregions is debatable, and ultimately such discourse is likely didactic. This platform is being designed and developed to support peer-to-peer knowledge management in the Salish Sea bioregion. However knowledge may be useful in adjacent lands with similar patterns of Biodiversity. In addition and ecological regions exist both as distinct places, but also as a gradient of ecotones. Thus, on the Salish Sea Platform we are prepared for the management of evidence that may come from other locations, such as from the south and west along the Olympic Willapa Coast including the Chehalis Basin, or from the north along the Queen Charlotte Sound, or further south in the Lower Columbia-Willamette or along the Oregon Coast or still further south from the Klamath Siskiyou or over the Cascade Crest to the Columbia Basin or beyond into dryland forests.
Existing Bioregions[edit]
Notes[edit]
- Existing Governance partners are focused on the Salish Sea bioregion. Many efforts and products are useful to adjacent bioregions. The platform could evolve to include those regions given adequate partnership and community development. There is no prohibition on adding useful materials borrowed from other bioregions.
