Island County Marine Resources Committee (MRC) is an advisory body to county government established in 1999 and comprised of many community volunteers who represent diverse interests and industries, with the common goal to protect and restore marine resources in the Puget Sound area through scientific monitoring, restoration projects, and community education.
As Island residents, we all have a special connection to the waters that surround us.
Watch this clip as some of our MRC members and partners share their connection to our local marine environment and how we all play a role in protecting and preserving this area that we love!
Inspired to get involved? We have open seats on our MRC! You can be a part of the work to care for our treasured natural resources! Find more information and an application here.
From forage fish to forums, our work has taken us onto the beach, under the water, and into our community! We've been up to a lot this past year. Read more about our projects and accomplishments in our annual report!
