The Salish Sea Institute has Annouced our Second Fellows Cohort!
We are delighted to introduce our new Salish Sea Fellows, a diverse group of eight individuals dedicated to advancing transboundary projects aimed at enhancing research and awareness of priority issues in the Salish Sea. Following a rigorous selection process, we extend our gratitude to our team of reviewers for their invaluable assistance. Fellows will receive funding to carry out their proposed project identified below. We are eager to embark on this journey with our new cohort.
Strategies for Countering Climate Doomism
We were delighted to host Elin Kelsey, one of our Salish Sea Fellows, March 4-6th at WWU to learn from her about Evidence-Based Hope specifically aimed at “combating climate doomism”. Elin spoke at a climate class, had lunch with students, provided a hybrid talk and met community members at a local brewery. Given the popularity of her talks and feedback from students, we know this is an important topic and will continue to focus on Hope for the Salish Sea in upcoming events.
Salish Sea Studies student: Caitlyn Blair
We are excited to share this great article on Caitlyn Blair, a WWU graduate and a student of the Salish Sea Institute's Salish Sea Studies Minor. She helped the Institute and fellow students in so many ways, and is now doing amazing work as a program coordinator with the NW Straits Commission. We love seeing the impact that Salish Sea Studies students like Caitlyn are having in the Salish Sea!
