We’re the GSA team! We mobilize collective action to protect a vibrant Salish Sea —one where nature thrives, and communities live in harmony with the environment.
We were founded in Nanaimo, BC, in 1990 by a group of passionate citizens united by a concern for the Salish Sea, the wildlife it sustains, and the coastal communities we call home. Our vision is a Salish Sea teeming with life, where thriving and just communities live in balance with the environment.
Marine Contaminants & Governance: braids together our work on government strategies and legislation for marine protection with on the ground work reducing pollution from boaters, marinas, and marine shipping.
Orca Action: ties together our legacy work on habitat, biodiversity, and species protection. It seeks new and meaningful ways to engage the public with this iconic keystone species, inspiring strong conservation action and legislative support to protect the Salish Sea ecosystem
Indigenous Sovereignty & Stewardship: Connecting habitat conservation with Indigenous-led stewardship to protect food security, maintain access to healthy waters, and advance Indigenous sovereignty.
Resilient Coastal Communities: supports coastal communities to adapt, withstand, and recover from environmental, economic, and social challenges related to climate change. The goal is to build climate-ready communities rooted in environmental justice.
30 x 30: aims to hold governments accountable to the goal of protecting 30% of land and water by 2030. It connects all our education, engagement, and advocacy work together, promoting Indigenous-led conservation, biodiversity protection, and nature-based climate solutions
