The Salish Sea Shared Waters Forum will occur via videoconference Oct. 14 and 15 and is free and open to anyone interested in issues confronting the Salish Sea, a critical shared-boundary region that is home to salmon, shellfish and orcas. The Salish Sea is a vital part of commercial and recreational marine traffic and it is a significant place to Tribes and First Nations.

The forum will be held Oct. 14, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Oct. 15, 8:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.

The virtual forum is sponsored by the Washington State Department of Ecology, B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, and the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force
