We are happy to report a successful outcome to the bold legal action we took against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2018. They will now have to give more scrutiny to sea walls, bulkheads or other armoring in the Salish Sea. This is a very important ruling for forage fish – who feed the salmon, who feed the Southern Resident orcas. A big thanks to our partners Sound Action, Earthjustice, and Washington Environmental Council!
