Our mission is to restore and protect the biological health and diversity ofPuget Sound; our goals
center on ensuring water quality, high quality habitat, and protecting the biological resources ofthe
Sound.
Action T earn staff, including our local liaisons, provide professional and technical services towards
this mission and goals. Staff members work with tribal and local governments, community groups,
citizens and businesses, and state and federal agencies to develop and carry projects and programs to
improve water quality and habitats for fish, marine animals and other aquatic life in Puget Sound.
