Free Photos! Or a Needle in a Haystack?
SEA-Media.org aims at being a beacon in the frenetic hubbub of the internet — one-stop-browsing for anyone who was interested in media related to Pacific Northwest waters. As I was preparing a presentation for a science conference next week (Oct 26, 2011), I wanted some photos that illustrated things that we typically don’t see in
Art in the Company of Science
The International Marine Conservation Congress (May 14-18, 2011 in Victoria BC) distinguished itself by incorporating art into the long days of technical talks by scientists. I reported earlier on a beautiful and moving song by a 10 year old who performed at the conference. A tall totem pole, a permanent part of the conference center

Oceans contain habitats as different from one another as rainforests are from deserts. From coastlines to the deepest ocean trenches there lives a vast array of marine life – some rare, some bizarre, some astonishingly beautiful.

One of the things I especially liked about the story was how it focused on the process of finding solutions rather than dramatizing a negative view of the situation.

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.
Homewaters
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.
