Salish Archipelago: Environment and Society in the Islands Within and Adjacent to the Salish Sea - Moshe Rapaport

Descriere Salish Archipelago: Environment and Society in the Islands Within and Adjacent to the Salish Sea - Moshe Rapaport

\nThe Salish Archipelago includes more than 400 islands in the Salish Sea, an amalgamation of Canada's Georgia Strait, the United States' Puget Sound, and the shared Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Salish Sea and Islands are named for the Coast Salish Indigenous Peoples whose homelands extend across the region.\n \n\n \nHoliday homes and services have in many places displaced pristine ecosystems, Indigenous communities, and historic farms. Will age-old island environments and communities withstand the forces of commodity-driven economies? This new, major scholarly undertaking provides the geographical and historical background for exploring such questions.\n \n\n \nSalish Archipelago features sections on environment, history, society, and management, accompanied by numerous maps and other illustrations. This diverse collection offers an overview of an embattled, but resilient, region, providing knowledge and perspectives of interest to residents, educators, and policy makers.\n
