Connection and Collaboration

Our first step is to connect with other groups on Salt Spring Island and around the Salish Sea in order to coordinate efforts, explore collaboration, and gather expert knowledge to establish a baseline and develop a marine section of CAP 2.0. with specific goals and actions.

 

 

Education and Enjoyment

Our second step is education; writing for print and TSS website on marine topics, hosting zoominarscelebrating global and local ocean days, hosting outdoor walks of the marine environment.

Action and Advocacy

Our third step is advocacy; creating awareness of marine related issues that citizens can choose to support via letter writing to government and private sector, ensuring marine related issues become part of election platforms.
