Clean Water for Orca Whales
OLYMPIA — The health of Puget Sound is a mixed bag of improvement and continued decline, according to a State of the Sound report issued Tuesday by the Puget Sound Partnership.
The partnership, created by the state Legislature in 2007 to help cure what ails Puget Sound by 2020, looked at 20 indicators to evaluate the condition of Puget Sound in its first status report.
Eight of the 20 indicators show a slip in health and seven others show improvement. Five others lack information to determine a trend.
... The partnership still needs to set Puget Sound cleanup goals and deadlines to really measure progress or lack of it, said Kathy Fletcher executive director of the conservation group People for Puget Sound and first director of the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority.
