Event Details:

Maps help us to better understand our environment. They also serve political and cultural agendas. This map is no different, being created both as an educational aid and as a part of the larger naming campaign. In this talk Stefan will explore the choices and creative process that went into the creation of the map, why the map is the way it is and how it’s different from other maps of the area. Stefan will bring a collection of related maps to compare, contrast and discuss alongside The Salish Sea and Surrounding Basin.

Stefan Freelan began sailing the Salish Sea as a teenager and has chosen to call the Salish Sea home ever since. He is Assistant Director of the Spatial Institute at Huxley College of the Environment at Western Washington University and teaches courses in Geographic Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems and Cartography

Adventuress will be dockside for the presentation and will remain open for dockside tours for 30 minutes after the presentation.
