Washington State Department of Ecology

The mission of the Department of Ecology is to protect, preserve and enhance Washington's environment, and promote the wise management of the state's air, land and water for the benefit of current and future generations. In order to fulfill the mission and move Washington forward in a global economy, the Department has three goals of preventing pollution, cleaning up pollution, and supporting sustainable communities and natural resources.

The Department of Ecology hosts a central clearinghouse for relevant scientific and technical information about the impacts of climate change on Washington's ecology, economy, and society - which can be found on the website.
