Our Recent Expeditions and Success
Puget Sound, WA
The Most Comprehensive Shoreline Record in Puget Sound History
In 2024, EarthViews Conservation Society completed Phase I of the Puget Sound Shoreline Mapping Project—surveying more than 2,500 miles of marine shoreline and capturing over 430,000 geotagged 360-degree images. This unprecedented dataset is already helping agencies, Tribes, and nonprofits make smarter, faster decisions to protect and restore Puget Sound. With funding support from the Washington State Department of Ecology through Senate Bill 5104, the Puget Sound Atlas is now live and available to those working on the front lines of conservation. Phase II begins in June 2025.
Lake Tahoe, CA/NV
Great Salt Lake, UT
Circumnavigated the Great Salt Lake documenting an ecosystem emergency as the lake dries up. We recorded the record low for the lake and mapped over 200 miles of imagery and water quality data. Our Great Salt Lake advocacy efforts included partnering with the Great Salt Lake Institute, providing them with critical data necessary to understand ecosystem health at high salinities. We met with stakeholders and community members to discuss our work and presented to the Utah DNR Great Salt Lake Technical Committee. Our efforts were covered by the Salt Lake News Tribune, PBS NewsHour, CBS, Inside Edition, and others, exposing millions of people to the crisis at the lake.
