Collections of high quality glimpses at our underwater world can be found in Pacific Northwest Diver, a bi-monthoy e-Magazine that offers peeks below the surface that leap right off the screen.

December 2012 Newsletter
Support our efforts to help you dine underwater?!?!
Sure, we need donations to continue our work. But there’s something else we need too. We need to know how our media portal, SEA-Media.org, could be more useful to you, to your project, to your organization. Each improvement we make is the result of a many-branched decision tree, and input from you, the beneficiaries of our work, is critical to making the right decisions.
Seafloor Living
Why don’t we have more places where people can hang out in the submarine world without actually getting wet? As I was speaking with a friend the other day about the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, WA, she said she had been to the museum but was very disappointed because it wasn’t undersea at all!
SEA-Inside: Pacific Northwest

Ian’s Ride
In Ian’s Ride, Karen Polinsky tells an inspiring story of Ian Mackay learning ways to approach life after he had been paralyzed from the neck down. 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.
Our Oceans
A five-episode series, each one about a different ocean. The underwater video is stunning, and it does a good job of pointing out ecosystem interconnections.
The Accidental Ecosystem

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.
