Land Acknowledgement
Let us acknowledge that we live on an island surrounded by the Salish Sea – in the heart of Cascadia located in the Pacific Northwest – on lands shaped by global mantel plate collision, subduction melt volcanic eruption, continental glacial sculpting and ever- erosional river deposition.
Further, let us acknowledge this place was home to peoples who lived for time immemorial in sustainable relationship with their place before our coming to also be here.
And so, let us be inspired to consider the wisdom of their ways that sustained them for time immemorial in this place.

Speaker – Steven Fradkin, Ph.D, Coastal Ecologist and Limnologist, Olympic National Park
Steven Fradkin, a highly regarded ecologist and limnologist with over two decades of experience as a Coastal Ecologist at Olympic National Park. He was involved in multiple publications and his work has been cited 676 times.
Bio: I’ve been the Coastal Ecologist and Limnologist at Olympic National Park (ONP) since 2000. As the chief scientist and natural resource manager for the park’s marine and lake resources, I conduct research and long-term monitoring in the intertidal zone of ONP, as well as at San Juan Island National Historical Park and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. I also conduct research and monitoring in the Park’s 650 mountain and large, lowland lakes. I received my doctorate from Dartmouth College after completing an M.S. and B.S. from Michigan State University. Prior to coming to ONP, I researched barnacle life- histories as a post-doc at the University of Oregon’s Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) in Coos Bay, OR. I currently live in Port Angeles, WA with my wife and two children, where we enjoy hiking, kayaking, fishing, and looking in the water.
