Northwest Straits Foundation
The Northwest Straits Foundation is a non-profit organization established to support the scientific, restoration, and education projects and programs of the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative. The Foundation’s mission is to protect and restore the marine resources of the Northwest Straits by supporting research, monitoring, restoration, stewardship, conservation and education programs and projects both at the local and regional level.
The Foundation seeks funding for projects and programs in partnership with the Northwest Straits Commission, the seven County Marine Resources Committees, Tribes, federal/state/local agencies, universities, other non-profit organizations and businesses.
The Northwest Straits Foundation was created in 2002 to augment the ability of the Northwest Straits Initiative to pursue funding for its programs and projects. The Foundation works closely with the Northwest Straits Commission and the Marine Resources Committees to set priorities and develop projects to achieve its marine conservation objectives.
