We are on a mission to understand, value and protect Island County's priceless marine environment. We hope you share our passion for these beautiful islands and will want to join us. As founders of the regional Beach Watcher program, Island County Beach Watchers feel great pride. We are experienced and deeply committed to our educational mission. Since 1989, more than 200 Island County citizens have completed Beach Watcher training. Every year we give back more than 15,000 hours of volunteer service - collecting data, evaluating water quality, talking with the public, conducting tours and classes, and doing hands-on work such as removing invasive weeds from fragile estuaries.
