Shared Waters Roundtable Summary
Opening conversation across international boundaries

The inaugural meeting of the Shared Waters Information Roundtable (SWIR) was held on May 19, in Aldergrove, B.C.  A summary of the meeting can be downloaded from the BPRI home page:  www.wwu.edu/bpri

About 18 organizations were represented at the meeting, and the group consensus was to continue the forum - a second meeting has therefore been scheduled for September 21, in Lynden, WA, at 1:00 p.m.  The exact location will be provided in a future mailing.  Over the course of the coming weeks, a new section of the BPRI website will be built in order to support the SWIR forum.

Thanks to all those who participated in the first meeting.  It seems as if greater transboundary knowledge is a commodity sought by many.

Regards,

David Davidson
Associate Director
