A new report examines the different ways that adult salmon and trout rely on estuaries during their spawning migrations. The report was commissioned by the University of Washington Puget Sound Institute with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program.

From the Puget Sound institute and TVW comes the documentary film “Finding Common Ground: Collaborative Leadership in Washington State.”

Pacific white-sided dolphins are found in the colder offshore waters of the North Pacific, but they also occasionally occur in inshore waters of the Salish Sea, and more rarely, Puget Sound. We outline their local status and trends as part of a series of species profiles produced in collaboration with the Puget Sound Ecosystem Monitoring Program.

How will climate change, population growth, and development affect Puget Sound and the natural resources we care about? The Puget Sound Integrated Modeling Framework provides new insights.

Scientists at the Puget Sound Institute work to understand and combat water pollution ranging from ‘forever chemicals’ such as PCBs and PFAS, to lesser-known contaminants of emerging concern.

While there are often opportunities to go deep in our respective fields, breakthroughs can come from unexpected connections and interdisciplinary discussions. The Salish Sea Science Roundtable is a virtual monthly seminar featuring emerging science shaping Salish Sea recovery and sustainable development.
