Homeostasis & BC Salmon
“Whether it’s salmon, homelessness, mental health, the aging population, educating our children, or creating wealth, we need to bring new problem solving strategies to our complex problems in a way we have yet to do in this province. And we need to involve more British Columbians in the dialogue about the future.”
Imagine BC: Dialogue on the future of British Columbia,
Simon Fraser University, October 2004Homeostasis describes a physiological feedback mechanism that maintains a balanced, healthy body. The above quote expands the meaning of homeostasis to include the social fabric of the province linking it with the “Iconic Salmon” that swims BC’s lakes, and rivers to and from the Pacific Ocean. This relationship inspired the researching and writing of articles about BC maritime policy issues that have been organized under the following headings:
- FISHING PRACTICES AND TRADITIONS
- PORT TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS
- MARITIME SECURITY & LAW ENFORCEMENT
- ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
- HISTORICAL REVIEWS
In the course of researching these articles several individuals commented on the need for a broadly based policy framework that would be objective in reporting on the obstacles, opportunities, pitfalls and challenges facing BC's maritime environment. These discussion lead to the drafting of A Document for Discussion: The Establishment of a Vancouver based Pacific Maritime Policy Institute, October 10th 2007
