We work throughout Puget Sound on diverse projects to restore iconic marine resources and a healthy ecosystem.
Connect
Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF) works collaboratively to restore marine habitat, water quality, and native species in Puget Sound through on-the-ground projects. We are committed to a vision of a clean and healthy Sound that is productive, full of life, and that sustains us. The populations we rebuild to achieve that vision are key to maintaining ecosystem health. Other programs we've launched are designed to spur clean water efforts and re-forge connections between people and resources.
Niche
PSRF projects are science-based and undertaken to restore a healthy ecosystem. Our staff of ecologists and technicians are in the lab and in the field. Our work takes place on the tideflats, in the water and at the hatchery as we rebuild breeding populations, enhance living marine habitat and incubate mitigation strategies.
Celebrate
We host events to bring awareness to our organization in support of our mission of creating connections to our coastal resources. When we gather together and partake in these resources and delight in their abundance, we help achieve a clean and healthy Sound full of life and capable of sustaining us. Plus, we know how to party!
RESTORE. RENEW. RECOVER.

Restore and maintain clean water, reduce pollution, and re-forge connections between local communities and healthy marine resources.
Support PSRF
Founded in 1997, PSRF is a nonprofit organization in Washington dedicated to working to recover coastal resources and maintain our connection to them. We believe that when we partake of these resources and work to recover their abundance, we become deeply rooted in the health of this place.
