Vashon-Maury Islands are 2 of 419 islands located in the Salish Sea—a rich, international inland waterway encompassing more than 6,500 square miles. The people and other organisms who call this place home face many environmental challenges.

Collaborating with partner organizations around the region, our scientists and volunteers collect community-based independent data. We use this information to solve local stewardship challenges as well as share information regionally to help leverage change to enhance the entire Salish Sea ecosystem. We foster a culture that values keeping our home clean, healthy, and thriving for future generations and all living beings.

Anyone can participate in collecting data, and we post opportunities to join us on our events page. Come outside with us!
