Southern Gulf Islands Coalition
A grassroots voice in conversations about the future of island communities.
Our archived pages bring together the views of residents and business owners concerned about land-use policy, access to docks, water availability, forest stewardship, housing and community life.
The Southern Gulf Islands are treasured for their forests, farms, wildlife, shoreline and people. The coalition’s site reflects a particular point of view within broader, ongoing public discussions.
