Eyes Over Puget Sound (EOPS) Goal:

We provide timely, spatially nested information on visible surface features in Puget Sound to improve temporal and spatial context. EOPS material supports awareness, education, and inspires others.

A cost-effective environmental news product:
We use routine empty transit flights between Kenmore Airbase and Olympia to document current marine surface conditions by camera. We supplement the information with satellite images, en route ferry, weather and mooring data.


We hope the images are inspiring and informative.

With best regards,

Christopher and the Marine Monitoring Unit
