About this Premium map:

This important award-winning reference map represents the geographic essence of the Salish Sea bioregion, a complex transboundary and environmentally sensitive area which sustains residents of the Pacific Northwest. On display is a connected marine landscape that emphasizes shoreline complexity, bathymetry, and land-sea relationships rather than political boundaries. The map uses a restrained, information-first cartographic approach to clarify one of the west coast's most intricate coastal regions. Designed to be read, studied, and returned to over time, this map communicates clearly while reflecting the character of the Salish Sea. The name honors the Coast Salish Peoples who have lived in the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years.
