Thank you for opposing these bills that would have stripped away the ability to hold industrial polluters accountable. Neither bill made it past policy committee before the cutoff today and are officially dead! Thank you for making a difference. Please stay tuned for more action alerts coming soon.

Welcome to our BlueSky! We are not currently using this space for whale sightings so please continue to follow our Facebook pages for those. We look forward to connecting here with education and advocacy as we work together to make the oceans a safer and healthier place for all marine mammals.

WA voters - Please sign in CON on SB5712/HB1937 before Monday morning! This bill would allow industrial stormwater polluters to shield themselves from enforcement and would exempt transportation facilities from having to take stormwater samples.
