See Introduction Pages

This page is for managing the introduction of new categories. As we transition to structured data, we are aiming to maintain a stronger management of category taxonomies, while still allowing for adaptation by users. It is important to remember that the purpose of categories is to group things that are similar, not to exhaustively classify all variation. Look for higher level categories, and only subdivide when the content demands subdivision.

Candidates

New Category candidates generally need to meet several criteria: 1) there is enough existing or immediately anticipated page content to make the category useful, 2) the category is sufficiently high-level enough to encourage relationships among pages, 3) the category is strongly relevant to social-ecological systems that govern the Salish Sea ecosystem.

Topic Sub-Categories

  1. Category:Macroalgae - A category to complement Eelgrass which might be better placed with Seagrasses which could include species other than Zostera, which are less well studied.
  2. Category:Submerged Aquatic Vegetation - an appropriate sub-category of Category:Vegetation, material anticipated from shoreline heatmap.
  3. Category:Quantification and Assessment - sub category of Socioeconomics to describe all efforts and products that aim to categorize or quantify places for the purposes of management.
  4. Category:Cultural Resources - sub-category of Socioeconomics - not sure if there is enough content at this point, and it is steeped in regulatory implications, and may not represent an area for topical organization.

Effort Sub-Categories

  1. Category:Dam Removal - sub-category of Effort-Restoration
  2. Category:Programmatic - sub-category of Effort used to distinguish between efforts that are planned as ongoing into the future and efforts that are more time and purpose limited.
  3. Category:Fish Passage - existing needs category under Restoration

Back Check With 2024 Salmon Recovery Conference

The following categories were proposed at this years Salmon Recovery Conference hosted by RCO.
