Research the impacts of ocean conditions on Olympia oysters and Mediterranean mussels in the Puget Sound. This project will help NOAA provide more reliable, relevant, and credible information to help decision-makers and natural resource managers build sustainable fisheries, recover endangered and threatened species, maintain healthy ecosystems, and protect human health.
