This is the ninth edition of the Puget Sound Update, a report first published by the Puget Sound Action Team in 1990. The Puget Sound Update summarizes the condition of Puget Sound as measured by ongoing monitoring and research activities of the Puget Sound Assessment and Monitoring Program (PSAMP). This report also includes research findings from a variety of additional monitoring and research efforts, conducted by local governments, research institutions, Tribes, state and federal agencies, and citizen monitoring groups. The purpose of the Puget Sound Update is to communicate the scientific understanding of the Puget Sound ecosystem, and the consequence of human and natural stressors on the Sound’s physical and biological resources.
