Preface
The Strait of Georgia , located on British Columbias South Coast, is a precious, contested and vulnerable place. Earlier called the Gulf of Georgia and now also known as the North Salish Sea, it is among the most biologically productive marine ecosystems in the world and the focal point of a region that is home to two-thirds of the provinces population. This tremendously rich region also lies at the centre of modern British Columbian history, and knowing its stories is essential for dealing with the Straits contemporary resource and environmental management challenges. To address these issues effectively, we need to understand them. And we cant begin to understand them until we have a handle on the complex history and geography that underlie them.
