US/Canada Partnerships

One of the Puget Sound Georgia Basin's most valuable assets is the strong sense of partnership and collaboration felt by the people living here. From the recognition of this place as the Salish Sea by its indigenous inhabitants to present day international cooperation, the ecosystem has held an importance beyond political boundaries.

Today's governments - local, tribal, state, provincial and federal - acknowledge the need to work across the political boundary separating the United States and Canada. Numerous initiatives and agreements support crossborder cooperation at all levels. By continuing to work together we can meet our common challenges for the future of the Puget Sound Georgia Basin ecosystem.
