SWS puts on Sound Waters University, a one-day journey of discovery about the natural world and Salish Sea annually on the first Saturday in February.

• Through education, Stewards help people understand interrelated ecosystems and become inspired to be active stewards of the environment because people take care of what they know and love.
• Through community science, Stewards augment professional workforces by monitoring and collecting data for scientific decision-making. Public participation in science by trained volunteers results in more data than professional staff alone could generate which can accelerate research while keeping keeps costs down.
• Through stewardship, SWS participates in beach cleanups and habitat restoration.
