Salish Sea Conservation is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization. Established in 2013 with the original directors and officers consisting of Whatcom County college and university students. We are a relatively new organization with a small budget. A major aspect of Salish Sea Conservation is making photo/video documentation and removal of garbage along the shoreline of the Salish Sea, as well as performing as many water quality tests as we are able within our budget restrictions.
