Connection and Collaboration

Our first step is to connect with other groups on Salt Spring Island and around the Salish Sea in order to coordinate efforts, explore collaboration, and gather expert knowledge to establish a baseline and develop a marine section of CAP 2.0. with specific goals and actions.
