Puget Soundkeeper

Puget Soundkeeper is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington. With 16 employees, the organization is dedicated to safeguarding the waters of Puget Sound. Puget Soundkeeper plays a crucial role in protecting water quality through various initiatives. They actively monitor Puget Sound for pollution, enforce environmental regulations like the Clean Water Act, and advocate for strong policies that safeguard waterways. The organization also engages communities and businesses in cleanup and restoration projects, educating the public about local water pollution issues. One of Puget Soundkeeper's key strengths is its successful record in enforcing the Clean Water Act. They have a nearly 100% success rate in cases, resulting in settlements that control over 120 million gallons of stormwater annually. These settlements have also led to over $7.4 million being awarded to third-party projects focused on restoration, education, and water quality mitigation.
