Thank you to everyone who showed up to support PSRF and celebrate Northwest oysters at Oyster New Year hosted by Elliott’s Oyster House!
We look forward to seeing you at Oyster New Year 2026!
PSRF invites you to immerse yourself in Kelp! Reverberations, an evocative new exhibit at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art that brings together visionary artists and scientists in celebration of the rich ecology and beauty of the kelp forest.
Opening September 26, this interdisciplinary exhibition features:
Sculptural forms crafted from locally foraged bull kelp by PSRF Founder and Director Emeritus Betsy Peabody,
A maze of deep blue and turquoise cyanotype banners by artist and author Josie Iselin, and
A spatialized soundscape evoking the underwater world of kelp, created by sound designer Ken Pearce in collaboration with Canadian composer and sound artist Jonathan Kawchuk, delivered through an innovative soundframe system.
This unique collaboration invites audiences to see, hear, and feel the dynamic life of underwater forests through art, science, and sensory exploration.
Sponsored by Above/Below, Puget Sound Restoration Fund, and Washington Sea Grant, the exhibit runs from September 26 – December 1, 2025. For full details, visit San Juan Islands Museum of Art at www.sjima.org.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Whiskies for Wildlife event presented by Bainbridge Organic Distillers. We had a great afternoon tasting whisky and enjoying good food together.

From the top-tier food and drink graciously provided by our long-time partner Elliott’s Oyster House, to connecting with one another about seaweed, art, and restoration, the event was brimming with positivity and joy.
In total, we raised more than $173,000 in support of clean and healthy Washington waters! With a ton of great work on the horizon, this support will provide huge lift across our programs restoring native oysters, abalone, kelp and more.
Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors and supporters who made this terrific evening possible.
We'd love to have you join us at one of our annual events. If attending one of our celebrations doesn't work for you, please consider a donation to support our efforts to restore iconic marine resources and a healthy ecosystem.
