To help track water mass changes and ecological shifts in Puget Sound, NWEM team members along with Washington's State Climatologist have developed a set of five metrics using regional real-time environmental measurements, including NWEM buoy observations. A number of these metrics go beyond simply reporting observations and placing them in a historical context by also giving insight as to what is causing the observed change. This project was funded by the Puget Sound Partnership. Read more and see the weekly-updated metrics here: http://www.nanoos.org/products/ps_metrics/home.php.

A Puget Sound seaweed cultivation project aimed at investigating the ability of kelp to help mitigate ocean acidificaiton was recently featured on 60 Minutes. This project is a collaboration between researchers at the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, University of Washington, NOAA, and Department of Natural Resources, and has just entered it's second field season.
