About the presentation:

The Nisqually Delta is one of the country’s last unspoiled estuaries. Janine Gates, author of Saving the Nisqually Delta, will present a slide show and discussion about the historical pressures applied by ports, counties, cities, and corporations to industrialize the Nisqually Delta. Citizen activism saved it from those threats, but today, the Nisqually Delta is still at risk. Janine will discuss key moments in Washington State environmental history and ongoing issues related to the ecological integrity of the Nisqually Delta.

Who will step up and save the Nisqually Delta now?
