Julia , who will be facilitating the day, explained that today is about understanding how the South Sound works and what are the important factors.   She encouraged attendees to be the space for problem solving in the South Sound by going beyond documenting the impacts of our actions on the South Sound and looking how those impacts affect human communities and the local ecosystem.  She called for an interdisciplinary integration of ideas that allow us to come up with new innovative ways to deal with the issues facing the South Sound.
