The first conference, “Puget Sound Research”, was held in 1988.  OR&R staff have participated on a number of topics such as oil spills and contaminant monitoring.  Recent conferences have also focused on fisheries, climate change, acidification, pre-spawning salmon mortality (due to tire chemicals), marine debris, social and tribal issues, diversity and equity, and strong student representation. 

Proceedings of all past conferences are at https://www.eopugetsound.org/terms/354.

The upcoming April 26-28 2022 Conference agenda is still in development, so check back soon:
