|  SeaTrust Institute is part of the evolving community of "sustainability science." This means that we are committed to what the National Research Council calls a "transition toward sustainability" that engages many areas of research in the quest to provide useful knowledge in the tradition of Pasteur's Quadrant, "use-inspired basic research."1 An example of this is the new Consortium on Climate Change and Population Health being convened in 2009. See link for more information about the consortium. We also support the idea of learning how to make communities sustainable. Listen to Dan Barber, chef, scholar and TED recipient as he tells you a love story. . . about fish and sustainability. At a regional level, SeaTrust Institute has identified the  need to collect and coordinate previous scientific and social scientific research efforts, connect current research and information, and help to identify vital areas for new scientific inquiry. If you are a researcher who has contributed to the work in Grays Harbor or the Northwest coast, we would like to include your work in our database. If you know of appropriate works we should include, please email us at lwilson@nasw.org.

From research in the Grays Harbor area and surrounding communities to participation in international events, publications and conferences, our work links with other research regionally and globally. 1 Stokes, D.E.
