IRS990/Desc0Public Engagement and Grassroots Advocacy: We focus on educating and empowering the Washington public to demand a state Department of Fish and Wildlife that is ethical, scientific, and reflective of Washington values. We provide a broader view of how the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) falls short of its responsibility to act as a public trustee for wildlife, as well as keeping the public informed about current policy issues. We develop strategies to address emergent issues, develop talking points, coordinate letter-writing campaigns, and host workshops to help people learn how to advocate effectively. We have built a coalition of fish and wildlife advocacy groups to help us mobilize broad grassroots involvement. At the state Fish and Wildlife Commission, our grassroots campaigns brought an end to Washington's recreational spring bear hunt; defeated a WDFW proposal to prematurely downlist wolves on the state endangered species list; and obtained passage of rules to reduce bear and cougar mortality to more sustainable and ethical levels. At the legislative level, our campaigns promote legislation to improve state wildlife policy and reform the wildlife governance system, while also helping to defeat harmful legislation, including attempts to weaken the Marine Mammal Protection Act and frequent efforts to decrease protections for gray wolves.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Direct Participation in Current Issues: We use our scientific expertise to serve as watchdogs over WDFW, monitoring its activities, investigating problems, and responding to issues. We attend every meeting and committee meeting of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, following current issues, providing frequent testimony, and submitting letters on a wide variety of topics. We submit formal comments informed by science on issues ranging from the Game Management Plan to the State Wildlife Action Plan to hatchery policies. We coordinate with our coalition of fish and wildlife advocacy groups to join forces on issues of importance, focusing our combined resources to achieve better outcomes for fish and wildlife.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Rulemaking, Litigation, and Other Legal Actions: We use our legal expertise to employ a range of legal strategies to hold WDFW accountable as a public trustee. We draft rulemaking petitions, including to protect fish species from overexploitation and stop WDFW from shooting state-endangered gray wolves on public lands at the behest of the beef industry. When other strategies fail, we file litigation to hold WDFW accountable to the law, including challenges to WDFW's arbitrary and capricious decisions to kill wolves, its frequent violations of the State Environmental Policy Act, and its disregard for the Public Records Act.
