Puget Sound
Puget Sound is critical to our environment, culture, and economy. About two-thirds of the state’s population lives in the Puget Sound region. Our nation’s second largest marine estuary faces a number of challenges related to population growth and development, as well as habitat loss and multiple sources of pollution.
We work in collaboration with a wide range of local and tribal governments, other state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and private sector partners to use the best available science and research to better understand and counter challenges facing Puget Sound.
