The Salish Sea comprises most of the Puget Sound water area. Marine species are generally assemblages of discrete populations occupying various ecological niches. Genetic changes to populations can occur as a result of genetic drift, introgression between populations, local adaptation, etc. This project provides genetic baseline data to monitor genetic change in plants, animals, and algae.
