In its first phase, the Puget Sound Science Review builds upon and adapts work completed as part of the Puget Sound Partnership’s April 2011 Puget Sound Science Update, a state-of-the-science document "synthesizing existing, peer-reviewed scientific information on specific topics identified by policy leaders [Puget Sound Science Update Synthesis 2010]." The completed chapters are included here in a modified form with value-added images, charts and a customized navigation structure. The content includes peer-reviewed analysis and state-of-the-science documentation from across a variety of disciplines.
