Get Involved

This is your community and your environment, so being involved in Harbor WildWatch benefits everyone. Finding out about the world around you and how you impact your world goes beyond generations. You make the difference everyday.

So get Involved!

When toxic materials enter the marine environment, they initially concentrate in communities, such as a mudflat where oysters and clams are common.  Over time, however, toxic materials in the marine environment extend beyond small communities: as poisoned organisms lower in the food web are eaten by organisms higher in the food web that are more motile (like a bird consuming a clam), toxins have the potential to travel across the globe and accumulate higher and higher in the food chain.

Because of this possibility, it is important to manage and protect habitats throughout the Puget Sound.  In doing so, organisms further away can also be protected from toxic poisons that interfere with an organisms physiology or ability to reproduce. Your involvement and concern for the environment will benefit generations to come. Do your part for Puget Sound... get involved.
