Welcome to Salish Sea Restoration

This website is a peer-to-peer learning platform to support the stewardship of our lands and waters. Volunteer editors create and revise five Types of Pages using our Style Guide under a shared Social Contract. Each page is cross-linked and flagged with a system of Categories. Using this platform anyone can share knowledge about what they know about ecosystem stewardship--the interface between social systems and ecosystems. We use knowledge to be more effective and efficient in supporting the regeneration of ecosystems. Regardless if you are north or south of our international boundary, we invite you to join in our effort.

We curate five types of pages, each with distinct content:

Workgroups - organizations and institutions doing work.

Efforts - the work of workgroups.

Products - durable outputs of efforts, including documents, graphics, datasets, and websites.

Places - nested pages describing the regions, catchments and landforms of the Salish Sea.

Topics - collected evidence on that help us understand subjects.
