The source is valid only to its own system of definition, although at least it does use actual official-name landforms in its descriptions (which this article doesn't, as yet). But to see an article of a deep stretch of inlet titled "Strait of Georgia" - see here, tells me everything I need to know about the accuracy/relevance of this classification system, no matter who the partners behind it are. The title is only valid as a reference to this classification system, and not in reference to forests themselves. Other classification systems for the forests do exist, not just hte CEC Ecoregion/Ecozones system (used by Environment Canada and also by teh equivalent US system and also the Dept of the Interior there). The BC Ministry of Forests has yet another system, for forest-types notably, and there's the biogeoclimatic zones, which are something different again, i.e. the defined regions/zones are different. Misrepresenting one systme as if it were the fact of the matter, above the other defintions, titles, is not Wikipedia's purpose; adopting one over the other as some kind of binding definition is highly questionable/POV-ish....and as I often find with ecological-group-based websites, the sites themselves arent' generally all that accurate. Showing a picture of what I gather is the deeper end of Jervis Inlet or the Kitlope or another coastal inlet, and using it to illstrate the Strait of Georgia is just so wrong....

I removed the image of the Black Tusk that was here; it's in an alpine ecozone/ecoregion and not illustrative of the Mainland Coastal Forests in the slightest. Please remember not to gussy up article with unsuitable even if scenic photos; Wikipedia is not a tourism brochure. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:19, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
