ASSOCIATED EVENT: Creatures of Habitat After hours of data input, matching post-it notes with numbered icons, Judith, along with volunteers Wendy, Kimia & others, have almost completed transferring the data. Although some post-it notes still need to be matched with numbered icons, a few post-it notes have no numbers, only obscure place-references, and many icons are not numbered, & may have actually been misplaced during the map transferring process.

Ken and Creatures of Habitat 2010 volunteers will be at Royal Oak Middle School with the coastal map to get students involved with community mapping!

Almost half of us now live within 150 km of the ocean. Shoreline development has meant the destruction of approximately 87 million hectares of coastal habitat worldwide. In the Puget Sound approximately 58 per cent of the coastal habitat has been lost while in the Salish Sea (formerly known as the Georgia Strait), this loss is estimated at 18 per cent.
