Forage fish are
a critical part of the food web for salmon\, seabirds and marine mammals.
Dr. Sandall will share recent research that is leading to a better underst
anding and management of forage fish species\, their habitats\, and the sp

Presenter: Howard Garrett\, Director and President of the Bo ard of Orca Network
\nToday Southern Resident Orcas using the Salish Sea and nearby coastal waters are at a critically low point with only 74 individuals remaining. We will explore the natural history of Orcas along with the conditions that now threaten their survival.

\nPresenter: Jennifer Lanksbury \, Wildlife Biologist\, WDFW
\nMussels (Mytilus edulis) are highly e fficient filter feeders which means toxic contaminants entering the nearsh ore environment show up in their tissues. Hear more about how these shellf ish are being monitored through the collaborative efforts of conservation organizations\, citizen science volunteers and government partners – and w hat we’re learning from the results!

\nPresenter: Kem Luther\, PhD\; Naturalist and W riter\, Vancouver Island\, BC
\nPlankton are the foundation of life in the ocean. Is there an analogy in terrestrial ecosystems? Yes\, there i s! In the Pacific Northwest\, the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems is the “Stegnon”\, the layer of organic life just above\, within\, and below the soil of the forest floor. Here\, mosses\, lichens\, and fungi create a nd process nutrients essential for other life.
