Engaging and informative, the Puget Soundbook is a householder’s water

\n“consumer issues” from septic tanks to household hazardous wastes is
\napplicable to aquatic habitats coast to coast. Included are specific
\nactions we can take to maintain a proper balance between the natural
\nsystem and human system functions of our estuaries and a rationale for why
\nwe should bother to take those actions. Chapters include:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
