About

Laurie MacBride is a photographer and life-long west coast resident and boater, inspired by nature and the British Columbia coast. Before retiring she co-founded and worked for close to two decades to build the Georgia Strait Alliance, a non-profit conservation group working to protect and restore the marine environment of her region, now known informally as the Salish Sea. Nowadays her focus is on photographing and writing about the natural wonders around her – whether at home on Gabriola Island or exploring the coast by boat and kayak.
