Salish Sea Science primarily biophysicalreductionist, impacts not solutions
Diverse, Complex, Connected:Social and Ecological Systems • Anthropogenic effects or human activity to the detriment of an ecosystem, OR • Seek to understand human behavior for sustainability and eco-recovery; e.g. conservation psychology and other social science disciplines
Behavior Change Outreach • initial efforts • PS impact targets • social marketing • generic, cross Sound

choose pilot sites . . . • land use • • density • • PS threats • • political will •
Summary • Puget Sound is complex socio-ecological system • extensive biophysical science knowledge • recovery response? • could be: systems, place-based, integrated design & ecology, multi-dimensional performance goals and monitoring • pilot sites for place-based recovery - use geodesign to select, develop, and monitor
