About SEA-Media

How often do you see well reasoned, factual media stories about nature here in the Pacific Northwest?

 

SEA-Media was started to bring you media about our Pacific Northwest waters: links to books, movies, art, music, blogs, and more.  In recent years, we have embraced ecosystem inclusivity, and now we include some terrestrial content as well as marine oriented content.
 
We specialize in highlighting independent media, but we  include as much quality media as we can from all sources.  We hope exploring this web site will help you better know our regional environment.

 

SEA-Media is a 401(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the profile of our environment in the media. This includes posting reviews of quality, local, nature media and the production of the online Salish Magazine.

 

Our Mission

 

SEA-Media’s mission is to connect the public with media about our region’s natural wonders — media that will inspire and inform them about how ecosystems work and help them develop the understanding necessary to appreciate, enjoy, and protect our natural, marine-influenced ecosystem.

 

Our Vision

 

SEA-Media envisions a world in which people are aware of and curious about our natural ecosystems. Furthermore, we envision that greater understanding and awareness will encourage people to become stakeholders in the persistence and healthy functioning of our natural ecosystems here in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Our Values

 

SEA-Media values factual, scientific, and educational information from reliable sources, with emphasis on the deep interconnectedness of our ecosystems. We also value cultural expressions (such as poetry and art) that help people understand and connect with the ecosystem itself.
