Puget Soundkeeper’s mission is to protect and enhance the waters of Puget Sound. We monitor Puget Sound water quality, help set strong policies and regulations that protect our waterways and our health, enforce environmental regulations, engage citizens and businesses in waterway cleanups and recovery projects, educate and involve the public in local water pollution issues, and partner with local and regional groups to advance solutions that protect Puget Sound. Monitoring and enforcement: Soundkeeper actively patrols the waters of Puget Sound and monitors for pollution. We also enforce the Clean Water Act through legal action.
