About Us
Who We Are
The Marine Resources Committee (MRC) is an advisory group to the Board of County Commissioners and operates under the umbrella of the Northwest Straits Commission. The MRC members are citizen volunteers who are committed to work closely with other community members - homeowners, business owners, recreational enthusiasts, commercial and sport fishers - to reduce or stop the decline of the marine habitat in our ecologically rich corner of the world.

It is our mission to protect Jefferson County marine resources. We welcome your participation in this process and encourage you to attend MRC month meetings and to email or call us with questions, concerns or suggestions.

Our Partners

 Marine Resources Committees
A network of local, county-based MRCs committed to protecting and conserving the resources of the Northwest Straits in the seven counties bordering the Straits: Clallam, Island, Jefferson, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom.


Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative
Since 1999, the NW Straits Marine Conservation Initiative has promoted and supported a local approach to protection and restoration of marine resources and habitats. Grassroots involvement by citizen groups is critical to successfully protect and restore the Straits' salmon, shellfish, bottomfish and other vital resources, plus the habitats they need to survive.
