Puget Sound
Puget Sound is one of the most ecologically diverse ecosystems in North America. It is a place of rare biological diversity and high economic value. The health and productivity of Puget Sound is a cornerstone of the region’s quality of life and vibrant economy, from sport fishing to salmon and shellfish production to tourism.
