The Soundwatch Boater Education Program is seeking interns to assist with the successful and internationally acclaimed education and monitoring program working to reduce vessel disturbance to killer whales and other marine wildlife in the Haro Strait region of Washington State and British Columbia, Canada. 

The Climate Impacts Group is seeking volunteer student note-takers for a one-day, on campus workshop on successful adaptation to climate change on Washington’s coasts. This workshop is assembling ~20 coastal professionals from local, regional, state, tribal and federal agencies who are working on climate change adaptation in Washington to discuss the vexing, yet increasingly important, question “What does successful adaptation to climate change in coastal areas look like?”

Our goals for the workshop are to delve into the concept of successful adaptation through a series of presentations, discussions and activities, to learn from participants’ adaptation experience, and involve leaders in our state in crafting answers to what constitutes successful adaptation.
