Hello all! Like many of you I come from the old site, and am very glad to have this new opportunity. Thanks to those driving it!
The Salish Sea may not be familiar to those not in this region, as the name is relatively new having been invented in the late 80s. It encompasses the inland waters around Washington and British Colombia, from the Straight of Georgia and the Straight of Juan de Fuca near Vancouver all the way south to Puget Sound near Seattle and Olympia. It is home to orcas, many species of salmon, grey whales, the giant Pacific octopus, bald eagles, and so much more. It is where I learned to dive in the early 80s, and where I have returned to live after many decades of life and work in the South Pacific and SE Asia, on an island roughly in the middle.
I have yet to plunge my thin tropical blood back into the cold green waters here, but this site is my daily reminder that I need to take a deep breath and just do it!
