Protecting the waters of Puget Sound now and for future generations

We are a team of dedicated staff and citizen volunteers whose mission is to stop pollution from entering Puget Sound. The Alliance uses the power granted to citizens to sue under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1972 to stop polluters in their tracks.

Why? Because Puget Sound is in trouble.

•    Declining fish populations and die-offs in Hood Canal
•    PCB’s in marine mammals
•    health warnings about Puget Sound salmon and shellfish
•    beaches closed to shellfish harvest
•    Superfund cleanups
…and the list goes on.

Here's what we're doing about it

•    Patrolling and Monitoring
Puget Soundkeeper Alliance actively patrols and monitors the waters of Puget Sound, the only environmental group to do so.
•    Legal Action
We enforce the Clean Water Act through legal action.
•    Active Engagement
We pursue the Clean Water Act’s goals through active engagement with business, government agencies and citizens.
•    Governmental Involvement
We get involved at many levels of government and legislation to toughen pollution standards.
•    Business Partnerships
We create partnerships with business to help reduce pollution.
