Divers Ecological Society was established as a 501( c)(3) organization in 2004 to organize the restorative activities of  local environmentally concerned divers, boaters, land based marine associates and local citizens.
  •  Divers Ecological Society involves citizens in the active stewardship of South Puget Sound near shore marine habitats.

  • We organize beach cleanup activities, perform underwater survey and mapping of critical marine habitat and grass beds. The data summaries are found here on this website for the use of the county, city and environmental organizations

  • We provide free training seminars throughout the year on flora and fauna within Puget Sound and encourage attendees to participate in reducing non point pollution impacts on the nearshore habitat.

  • Divers Ecological also schedules opportunities for the citizenry to become involved in various cleanups around the South Sound.

  • Lastly, we monitor the results of our baseline surveys over time to report on the current health of the habitats within the South Sound
