Draft Plan

The draft plan details the problem, the science, and the solutions to reduce human sources of nutrients and get to healthier oxygen levels in Puget Sound. The plan outlines approaches to get to cleaner water by 2050.

We especially welcome feedback on the targets set by the plan, ideas on other reduction scenarios that could meet state water quality goals, the milestones in the plan, how model outputs are evaluated and used, and any other innovative ideas to address impairments and meet water quality standards.

We will be presenting information about the draft plan at the next Nutrient Forum meeting. 

The Puget Sound Nutrient Source Reduction is a collaborative effort with Puget Sound communities to address human sources of nutrients. This work focuses on using the latest science to find the right solutions for regional investments to control nutrients from point and non-point sources. The project objective is to improve Puget Sound water quality specifically dissolved oxygen to support salmon and orca recovery.
