About the Puget Sound Institute

The Puget Sound Institute seeks to catalyze rigorous, transparent analysis, synthesis, discussion and dissemination of science in support of the restoration and protection of the Puget Sound ecosystem. We bring together scientists, engineers and policy makers toward this goal, and provide expert advice based on the best-available science. Funding for the Puget Sound Institute comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which was appropriated $50 million for cleaning up Puget Sound, including $4 million for creating the Puget Sound Institute.

Making connections

The Puget Sound Institute will serve as the bridge between the scientific community and those charged with restoring and protecting Puget Sound. Among other activities, the institute will convene panels of experts to address difficult issues faced in restoring and protecting Puget Sound, much as the National Research Council does.

Academic independence

The independence of universities, combined with the unique academic culture of convening experts, puts us in a key position to provide elected leaders and policy makers responsible for the restoration and protection of the Puget Sound ecosystem with expert advice based on sound scientific information and principles.

Leading authorities

The Puget Sound Science Review and other institute efforts bring together leading authorities from a diversity of disciplines to conduct commissioned critical reviews and evaluations, providing credible, consensus-based information to scientists, the Legislature, government agencies and other interested groups. The institute will also form working groups to synthesize the available science to identify opportunities for progress on specific environmental issues.
