  • Introduction
    Workshop Summary Report Salish Sea Fish Assemblage Workshop September 18th 2018 Seattle, Washington Prepared by Zoe van Duivenbode Introduction Changes in the composition and abundance of fish assemblages within the Salish Sea region have long been a topic of interest for management, as they can result in a variety of possible consequences associated with species/population management, habitat conservation, and ecological shifts. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and SeaDoc Society organized a workshop to gather managers, researchers, and policy-makers involved in Salish Sea fish assemblages to share and discuss evidence of fish community change, impacts of change on species and ecosystem recovery, and to align management priorities and identify research needs. Further, the idea for a workshop originally was identified within the Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan for yelloweye rockfish and bocaccio of the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin (NMFS 2017)1. It became clear that assessing rockfish assemblage change without the context of assessing available information on full fish assemblage change would be insufficient for addressing recovery needs. The goal of the workshop was to identify relevant time-series data, evaluate current research, and discuss how existing efforts may contribute to future management strategies. In addition to the host agencies, workshop participants represented a collection of agencies and organizations including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Puget Sound Restoration Fund, Seattle Aquarium, Samish Tribe’s Department of Natural Resources, Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Washington Department of Ecology, WDFW, University of Washington and more (see appendix for full list of participants and organizations).

    On the cover Indian brass band being recorded, early 1900s? Photographer unknown. (NPA) This extraordinary photograph appears to have been taken at an Indian residential school, perhaps one in British Columbia. The likeliest candidate is St. Mary’s Mission. The architecture is Second Empire style which was popular towards the end of the nineteenth century. The recording device, a cylinder model gramophone, dates to the turn of the century and was used for field recording by anthropologists as late as the mid-1920s. It is quite possible a reference to this event lies buried in a late nineteenth or early twentieth century newspaper. As for the recording itself, it too may have survived. Readers of the B.C. Historical News who have information on the circumstances surrounding this photograph are asked to write David Mattison at the Sound and Moving Image Division, Provincial Archives of British Columbia, do Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
