EoPS to launch Salish Sea Currents

Body: 

Historically, the waters from the Strait of Georgia to Puget Sound hosted roughly 70% of the world's western grebe population. Now biologists estimate that only 4% of the birds continue to winter here—a decline of 95%. Why did all the grebes leave? Where did they go? And what does their disappearance say about the health of the Salish Sea?

Summer stories in EoPS

Body: 

A lot of great stories are coming in for our Salish Sea writers series. Last month we sent 11 writers to the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference to report on some of the key takeaways from the event. Look for a series of articles in these pages starting in July. Stories will range from the "salmon survival bottleneck"—why are so many of Puget Sound's salmon dying young?—to the state of the region's marine birds, new eelgrass targets and many others.

EoPS publishing mobile app for Salish Sea conference

Body: 

The Encyclopedia of Puget Sound has been chosen to publish the official mobile app for the upcoming Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference in Seattle. The app will allow users to customize their schedules, network with conference participants and receive real-time news about conference events. It will be available for all devices and will be the first time a mobile app has been developed specifically for the biennial conference.

EoPS to host Salish Sea conference session on ecosystem synthesis

Body: 

2014 Salish Sea Ecosystem ConferenceIs technology changing the way we think about ecosystem information? The Encyclopedia of Puget Sound will host a two-part session on new approaches to ecosystem synthesis at this spring’s Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference.

The Puget Sound ecosystem: an outline

Body: 

Each year, state and federal agencies put more than a hundred million dollars toward the protection and restoration of Puget Sound. All of these efforts are informed in some fashion by science. It's a simple equation: what we know about the ecosystem ultimately determines how we take care of it.
