LIHT 2025 Annual Meeting
Map of the Salish Sea by Stefan Freelan, 2023
Join us for the 2025 Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 8th at the Lummi Island Grange Hall from 6:30-8:00pm. We are thrilled to introduce this year’s speaker, Lummi Island resident and founding Director of the Salish Sea Institute, Ginny Broadhurst.
“Salish Sea Success Stories: Tips for Staying Hopeful”
Over the last century, the Salish Sea region has experienced declines and outright losses of species; degradation and loss of critical wildlife habitat; contamination of lands and waters; and myriad other environmental problems. Climate impacts are here, exacerbating much of this and raising new concerns such as ocean acidification, sea level rise and higher storm surges.
We tend to hear a lot about the problems, and less about how countless organizations, Tribes, agencies, First Nations and community groups are making a difference to recover species, improve habitat conditions, uphold treaty rights and mitigate impacts of climate.
Ginny’s presentation will provide a sample of important restoration and protection work occurring in the region. It will also offer some insights and tips for how and where to find hope about the Salish Sea and the planet.
This event will also be available via live stream. Stay tuned for more information on how to register to attend remotely via Zoom.
