This initiative was started by two teachers and several other volunteers in 1982, with the aim of conserving the marine life in the Salish Sea. The organization is still served by more than 100 volunteers. Through exhibits, education programs, lectures and publications they encourage the youth to form emotional ties with sea creatures and plant life and to become stewards of their habitat. Week-long summer camps focus on topics such as marine biology, coastlands and art. There are regular fundraising dinners and other events. The Port Townsend Marine Science Center (PTMSC) is open all year on weekends and weekdays in summer.
