Welcome ya'll tag:blog.ecosystemsfirst.com,2006-04-02:2a1d017f-382c-4f78-947e-aae201f0efe3 Ecosystems First 2006-04-02T22:48:00Z 2006-04-02T22:48:00Z Welcome to&nbsp;a new dedicated&nbsp;forum to speak out about environmental issues!&nbsp; Hopefully, this will be a place to cultivate some great ideas for environmental&nbsp;problems found worldwide.&nbsp;&nbsp;Most of the&nbsp;focus will be&nbsp;on aquatics issues only because the guy in charge brings a career of experience with freshwater and marine landscape.&nbsp; The majority of discussion will be around Washington State waters and the northwest United&nbsp;States, but we also want to include input from folks on a global scale.<BR><BR>Any topics will be welcome...water quality, development, global warming, endangered species, habitat, aquaculture, mining, to name a few.<BR> The expertise on these environmental topics come from a civil service career spanning 3 decades and three state agencies. The information produced here is generally from information gathered in the course of actual in-the-field frontline (some might call it "trench warfare") experience.
