When listening or singing to this CD, think about the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project: a massive scientific undertaking to research why runs of Chinook, Coho and Steelhead have decreased to one-tenth of past peak levels over the past 20 years in the Salish Sea. The Project involves more than 150 scientists and technical staff from more than 40 federal and state agencies, First Nations, universities, industry and non-profit organizations from Canada and the United States. The coordination is being conducted by two non-profits: the Seattle-based Long Live The Kings and the Vancouver-based Pacific Salmon Foundation.
