This huge education event is organized and held every year by the WSU Beach Watchers of Island County and attracts hundreds of attendees from a multi-county area.

Dr. Rick Keil, director of the Aquatic Organic Geochemistry lab and a Professor of Chemical Oceanography in the University of Washington’s School of Oceanography is delivering this year’s keynote address. He will speak on “Puget Sound: What’s In Our Water and Why Does It Matter?” For the remainder of the day, attendees may choose any three of more than 60 classes on subjects ranging from salmon, crab, shellfish and birds to bluffs, estuaries, orcas, and septic systems. Classes are taught by authors, educators, enthusiasts and government officials.

This year’s event will be held at the South Whidbey High School campus in Langley on Saturday, February 5. Registrations will be accepted until Friday, January 28th, 2011, but class assignments are made in order of registration date. If you wait until late January, some of your preferred classes may already be filled to capacity. For more information, visit the Sound Waters site.
