Volunteers and staff from across the Northwest Straits Initiative gathered at the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research reserve on September 16th for the Northwest Straits Initiative Collaborative Conservation Workshop. This was the first in-person celebration held in over two years, and it delivered!
Over 50 participants from MRCs, the NW Straits Commission, and NW Straits Foundation shared project ideas and discussed collaborative opportunities to preserve our marine habitats.
A huge thank you to Ann Larson from Senator Patty Murray’s office and Senator Liz Lovelett for sharing their thoughts and support at the event, and Rosie Cayou James for providing a wonderful welcome and top-notch salmon barbecue! Attendees walked away feeling inspired to build on their ongoing collaborative relationships.
