Many communities across the state and in the Puget Sound region in particular are updating their shoreline management policies for the first time in over 30 years. It is a once in a lifetime moment for getting it right on our shorelines after decades of failed policies. Our active participation has “changed the conversation,” so that jurisdictions are beginning to grasp what is required and the best ways to address different issues.

This high-energy job supports our advocacy and organizing efforts to protect Whatcom County's natural environment by working with local members and activists.
