Community Science, Stewardship & Education
Sound Water Stewards are trained volunteers working in and around Island County for a healthy, sustainable marine environment through education, science, and stewardship (our mission). We are the “boots on the ground” for a variety of partners. While we host many programs and projects of our own, including Digging for Dinner and Intertidal Monitoring, we also provide educated volunteers as a workforce to many Western Washington researchers. Learn more about the exciting projects that we are involved with in the sections below.
