Salish Sea
The Salish Sea is a coastal ecosystem located in the Pacific Northwest of North America. It encompasses the waters of the Strait of Georgia, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Puget Sound. This area is known for its rich biodiversity, including various marine species such as orcas, seals, and salmon. The sea is bordered by the U.S. state of Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia.
The Salish Sea is significant for its cultural and economic importance. It supports fishing, shipping, and tourism industries, while also serving as a habitat for numerous wildlife species. The region is home to several Indigenous communities, including the Coast Salish peoples, who have lived in harmony with the land and waters for thousands of years.
