Puget Soundkeeper Alliance is an action-oriented team dedicated to a mission: to protect and preserve Puget Sound.

 We are committed to a dual approach:

•     reducing the pollution of Puget Sound by making polluters accountable to the law; and
  
•     promoting education and cooperation in the effort to protect the Sound.

Fighting pollution on the water and in the courtroom, we carry out our work through four priority programs:

1. Enforcement of the Clean Water Act against polluters using the citizen lawsuit provision
2. Monitoring through weekly Soundkeeper on-the-water boat and kayak patrols
3. Engagement with business, government and other key parties, to build workable regulations on complex issues like storm water runoff permits, boatyard permits, and oil spill contingency rules
4. Solution-Oriented Partnerships to involve business and government in water quality improvement programs (e.g., Envirostars, Clean Marinas)
