"Saving Puget Sound is the topic of the day, the topic of the year, the topic of the decade."
—Jean-Michel Cousteau
Not visible from a ferry deck, and hidden from postcard views, are signs of trouble in Puget Sound. Commercial shellfish beds are closed because the clams, mussels and oysters are not safe to eat.
Some beaches are not safe for swimming because they are so contaminated with bacteria.
In Hood Canal, there are dead zones – areas without enough oxygen to support marine life.
Our cultural totems – salmon and orcas – and other wildlife are on life support.
These signs of trouble are increasing, and the window to turn things around is rapidly closing. >>learn more
