Big thanks to all who attended our annual Wine & Sea Auction on Orcas Island last weekend! It was so wonderful to celebrate together on a beautiful Saturday afternoon—all in support of Salish Sea science and conservation! Huge thanks also to our amazing hosts, sponsors, board members and volunteers, it was our most successful auction ever!

At the event, we honored Martha Kongsgaard and Stephanie Solien with the SeaDoc Society’s Octopus Award, which recognizes individuals outside our program who have made significant contributions to the success of the SeaDoc Society and our mission in the Salish Sea. Martha’s and Stephanie’s vital work with the Puget Sound Partnership over the years is widely known, but we encourage you to read all about them here. See you next summer!
