Campaign for Matching Funds
Demonstrate your support for the project with a donation to the Northwest Straits Foundation dedicated to the derelict gear program. Funds raisied from individuals and private businesses help us to fulfill requirements of private matching funds for federal grants. Donations can be made online or by mail. Together we can finish the job of ridding Puget Sound of this harmful debris preventing unnecessary species mortality and allowing habitat recovery. Donations can also be dedicated to specific Marine Resources Committee project budgets.
