Discover the Natural Beauty and Serenity of Damon Point
We spent a stormy and dramatic weekend exploring Damon Point, not to mention watching Humpback whales feeding off the point.
To promote education and conservation through the documentation and participation of leading citizen-science projects.
We continue to participate in a variety of science projects providing valuable data to organizations such as NOAA, COASST, and Sea Grant. We’ve trapped for the invasive European Green Grab, sampled for microplastics in both the marine and freshwater environments, conducted debris surveys, collected data on beached coastal birds, and collected data on our Wild and Scenic Rivers.
A new season of fieldwork has commenced. We’re excited to be working with Adventure Scientist on this project for a third season. This wet, rainy weekend finds us back in Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Suiattle River to measure the health of this iconic river.
Be sure to watch our Twitter account for reports from the field.
Our mission is a labor of love, but it does come with overhead. If you’d like to support our efforts we’d certainly appreciate it. Currently, we’re actively participating in the following field research:
Thank you.

An advantage to our volunteering is that we’re often well off the beaten track presented with spectacular scenery. Here you can find our more dramatic photos taken in the field.

Being assigned a new COASST survey beach after 6 years of surveying Toleak Beach can be both exciting and challenging. Starting a new survey requires familiarizing oneself with a new beach and its unique characteristics, such as topography, accessibility, and the presence of any hazards. It may take some time to establish a survey routine and become comfortable with the new environment.
As a COASST survey volunteer, adapting to change is part of the job, and the experience gained from transitioning to a new beach can enhance survey skills and knowledge of coastal systems.
Some of my work has been featured on CNN, Outside TV and, National Geographic.
Just want to thank everyone for all the messages and encouragement this last year. And we really appreciate your donations as well! Our overhead is low, but we do appreciate your generosity in helping with the expenses.
