Charting climate change in Puget Sound

Rhinoceros auklets on Protection Island

Body: 

Late last night, I found myself on Protection Island dodging rhinoceros auklets. The island is home to the largest nesting colony of the birds in the state, where about 35,000 of them burrow into the hillsides. Dozens of them were swooping in, thumping onto the ground all around me (listen to mp3).

Puget Sound Voices

Body: 

The Puget Sound watershed has gone through extraordinary change in just a few decades. As conservation groups wrestle with ways to protect the region’s environment, a key priority in many cases is also to “restore” Puget Sound to its former health.
