2. Development of resource materials for the public such as “Puget Sound's Wildside:  A Natural History of Puget Sound's Marine Environment” reference guide; permanent signage around the Harbor and neighborhood parks and state beaches; brochures about the local wildlife; and other art projects that teach about the environment.

Testimonials

“Students really responded to the naturalist on the beach – with the midshipman – she showed how to put the rock back without damaging the fish. One experience can go a long way to changing behavior”
Sheryl Mills, 3rd grade teacher, Artondale Elementary School
