SeaChange is located in the heart of unceded traditional W̱SÁNEĆ territory, near Victoria, British Columbia. We are very grateful to be sharing this land with the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. We acknowledge that injustice and grief has resulted from this sharing. Our hope and intention is to grow in partnership with W̱SÁNEĆ communities and to enact our responsibility for healing Indigenous-Settler relationships, lands and ocean. Our passion for marine conservation, restoration, education and mapping spills across the Salish Sea where we work with community groups and First Nations to map, monitor and restore eelgrass habitat. We also work with communities to restore nearshore riparian areas vital for forage fish spawning. We collaborate with researchers and graduate students to find the best conditions for restored eelgrass meadows to thrive. Through our ShoreZone program, we provide high quality coastal data to help governments and other organizations make better decisions about the fate of shorelines and nearshore ecosystems. We envision a coastline that is abundant and healthy with generations of caring people who feel a sense of belonging to this place and the diverse cultures it supports.
