Puget Sound Fact Book now available

How much water is in Puget Sound? What is the weight of a giant Pacific octopus? Or the average amount of salmon consumed by a killer whale? What about more sobering facts related to stormwater pollution or climate change? The Encyclopedia of Puget Sound has been looking into a lot of questions like these over the past few months. With support from the EPA and the Puget Sound Partnership, we have enlisted the help of close to two-dozen scientists and writers to prepare a reference guide to key facts about Puget Sound and its recovery. The collection makes up what we are calling the Puget Sound Fact Book. The guide is meant as a quick survey of policy-relevant information on subjects ranging from species diversity to ecosystem threats like habitat loss. Download a copy today.
