FRIENDS of the San Juans is a public-interest organization dedicated to protecting the land, water, sea and livability of the San Juan Islands for people and wildlife. In 1979, a handful of farsighted islanders founded FRIENDS to protect the islands from the harmful impact of unplanned growth. Since then, FRIENDS work has evolved to include marine research, habitat restoration, environmental advocacy, endangered species protection, and education for property owners, students, and land use professionals.
Please explore this website to see how FRIENDS combines science, education and advocacy to expand environmental protections for the islands.

FRIENDS Annual Meeting
Saturday, August 28th Odlin Park, Lopez 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Restoration Site Field Trip, Catered Picnic Lunch & Keynote Address by Jack Giard:
“What’s Impacting Salmon in the San Juans? An ecological and social perspective”
For 40 years, Jack Giard has owned Lopez 4-Way Reefnet. In 2009 Jack was given a 2009 Island Good Steward Award as he has shown reverence not only for the salmon that he is catching, but for the greater marine environment as well. He has demonstrated that sometimes the best way of doing things… is the old way of doing things. Jack resides on Lopez and is a US delegate to the Fraser River Panel of The Pacific Salmon Commission. He is a quintessential resource on all things salmon.
