| '''Marine Resources Committees (MRCs)are county-based citizen advisory committees created by the Northwest Straits Commission to identify local priority actions needed to protect and restore local marine resources. There are 7 MRCs in the Northwest Straits area of Puget Sound.'''

| ==New MRCs==
| |
| The original seven North Puget Sound MRCs developed under the NW Straits authority have been recently joined by additional organizations on the outer coast of Washington, using the same model, under a state authority given to the [[Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife]]. That authority extends to South Puget Sound, but has not been funded by the state legislature (c. 2012).
