The Elwha Nearshore Consortium is coordinated by the Coastal Watershed Institute in collaboration with Peninsula College, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, The Surfrider Foundation, and Olympic National Park. This event is co-sponsored by the Olympic Peninsula Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and with grant funding from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
