Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire recently announced an initiative that puts over $4 million towards cleaning up the waters of Puget Sound. It promotes shellfish as a major part of the clean up effort.

Listen to or read Ashley Ahearn's discussion with Laura Hendricks, head of the Sierra Club’s Marine Ecosystem Campaign in Washington, to get another perspective on the new initiative at http://earthfix.opb.org/water/article/whats-wrong-with-governor-gregoires-washington-sta/ .

What a great turnout we had for "Learning How to Protect our Tidelands" on November 3rd, 2011, at Traditions Cafe!

This was an informative evening to learn about how our tidelands and water quality are being degraded, and what to do to help save them. Presentations were given by Fritz Mondau from APHETI and Laura Hendricks, Chair of the Sierra Club-Marine Ecosystem Campaign for Washington State.
