Flame Retardant Chemicals

Hi, Shore Stewards partners, Here is the link to this month's Shore Stewards News, which deals with flame retardant chemicals that have been shown to affect the health of marine animals in Puget Sound: http://www.shorestewards.org/island/newsletter/ . I would recommend clicking on the pdf version. As with some other recent newsletters, this edition was written by a Shore Stewards coordinator in another county -- in this case, Cheryl Lovato-Niles in Whatcom County. You will see other newsletters in the future written by me or other coordinators, so that we may each devote more research and depth into what we write. We will add local content when required, so our information will not be too generalized, though it will almost always focus on Puget Sound.

This edition is somewhat more technical than most, but is something we don't usually think about. Many thanks to all of you who completed the online survey; your feedback and comments were most helpful in helping guide the program in the future! Hoping you all enjoy a warm and happy July, and get a chance to get down to the beach as often as possible, Scott Chase, Shore Stewards Coordinator, Island County121 N.
