Celebrate the Salish Sea with Sound Action

Come celebrate the Salish Sea and support Sound Action at the Hardware Store, Thursday May 23, 6-9PM. Sea creatures have been known to dress-up as bar tenders and it is rumored that Alex Trebec (perhaps an impersonator) will host "Puget Sound in JEOPARDY." It will be a lively evening in support of a living Puget Sound.
 
Sound Action, formerly known as Preserve Our Islands, is taking the lessons learned from the battle over Maury Island to protect the nearshore throughout Puget Sound. The first watchdog effort is to make sure that Hydraulic Permit Approvals issued by the state, protect important species and habitat, such as forage fish and eelgrass beds. Sound Action continues to work locally on developing environmentally protective management plans for the Maury Island Aquatic Reserve including Quartermaster Harbor and the new Maury Island park, land once slated to be mined and barged off Island.

The work Sound Action is undertaking is hard. The organization is effective and lean with very little overhead. The expanded Board of Directors encompasses expertise on whale ecology, marine protected areas, wildlife conservation, project management, communications and environmental education. Your contributions go directly to protecting the Sound. Imagine life on an Island surrounded by a dead sea. It is time to take action: decisive Sound Action.
