Strategic Priorities

Our Strategic Priorities guide and unify our work as we mobilize communities to protect and restore the San Juan Islands and the Salish Sea. They serve as our compass—shaping our vision, informing our decisions, and helping us measure progress. Like a navigational chart, they keep us oriented as we work to protect the vibrant, interconnected landscape of sea, shoreline, and life in this region.

We are currently wrapping up our 2022–2025 Strategic Priorities and planning for the next five years—taking us toward 50 years of protection for the San Juan Islands and Salish Sea.

We live in such a pivotal time. Future generations are depending on us to protect and restore what will be their environment. We support the Friends because they tackle the issues that really make a big difference in our local environment, while also squeezing maximum value out of every dollar in their budget.
