| Abstract | Long Description |
Puget Sound, a regional and national treasure, is in trouble, threatened by stormwater runoff, toxics, development, industrial pollution, and many other factors, and struggling under the impact of increasing human population. Recognizing its unique role as an ecosystem and its contribution to our state′s economic and human well being, the state established the Puget Sound Initiative, a historic effort under way to restore and recover the Sound by the year 2020. In response to this new directive and armed with state funding, the Department of Ecology′s Toxics Cleanup Program is focusing cleanup and restoration efforts on priority in-water and upland sites within one-half mile of Puget Sound. Seven bays have been identified as priority areas for Puget Sound waterfront site cleanup. |
