SEA-Media in 2018

Seven years ago, SEA-Media launched our first big project: this web site that is dedicated to calling attention to some of the great media about a seriously marginalized yet essential part of our Pacific Northwest ecosystem: our marine waters. During that time we have highlighted books, movies, photographs, radio stories, a barn painting, and even some digital games that are relevant to our mission.

Now, in 2018 we are making two big changes. First, we are expanding our criteria to recognize the importance of the terrestrial world both to our marine world and to our psyches. You can read more about this topic in my recent blog.

Second, SEA-Media will begin publishing media, not just reviewing it. The vessel for our publications will be a digital, multi-media magazine. This magazine will be available by subscription and delivered online. Highlighting our new acceptance of humans’ connection to things that they can see in real life, the magazine will have a companion mobile app. When subscribers are exploring some of the outdoor public spaces around Puget Sound, the app can alert them when they are near a landmark that illustrates something discussed in the magazine — it will be like a virtual interpretive sign. This project will be using 21st century technology to enrich peoples’ explorations of our local ecosystems.

Enough words…check out our embryonic   PROMOTIONAL WEB SITE.

Cities do, indeed, have their own ecosystems. These have developed over centuries of city growth, suburb growth, and other human impacts on the lands. This book added a new dimension to my understanding of how we are impacting nature.

Earth For All

Earth for All was published in 2022 as a report to The Club of Rome. As I read it, I realized that it was part of a “new wave” of literature about addressing our current global problems — a wave that was based on systems thinking.

I highly recommend Homewaters — for the way it introduces the components of the Puget Sound ecosystem, but especially for how it weaves the various parts together.
