“Environmental stewardship doesn't end at the shoreline.”
Our marine ecosystem needs protection from industrial aquaculture
The Coalition is an alliance of interested citizens, environmentalists, scientists, and recreation users who are concerned about current and expanding aquaculture in both the nearshore environment and public waters, and its impacts on plant, animal and ecological function.
Our mission is to voice citizens’ concerns of aquaculture, its impact to the health and quality of Puget Sound and coastal waters and to effect changes to policies, regulations, and their enforcement to protect shoreline habitat.
The Coalition to Protect Puget Sound Habitat is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We welcome your contributions.
You may also mail your contribution to PO Box 233, Burley, WA 98322.

Read the WA State Shoreline Management Act
Contact your local State Representative and Senator. Tell them that there needs to be an Environmental Impact Statement done for this experimental industry. Tell them you are concerned with the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the State’s Shorelines, as stated in the Shoreline Management Act.
