We believe access to the full range of academic knowledge on the marine environment of the Salish Sea helps ensure salmon conservation can occur based on guidance from the most up to date scientific findings. Centralizing these works and keeping them current is the aim of the Search Literature database available here.

How to Search

“Search literature” will search the entire citation (title, author, year, abstract, journal name etc). Please specify if your search is an “AND” or “OR” or just a simple text string search. You can use as many terms as you wish for the “AND” and “OR” searches. No punctuation is necessary.

  • For example, you type: Hornby Island Kelp
  • For an “AND” search this will provide any literature than has each of the terms Hornby, Island and Kelp within the citation.
  • For an “OR” search this will provide any literature that has the term Hornby or Island or Kelp within the citation.
  • For a string search this will provide any literature that has the full text string “Hornby Island Kelp” within the citation
