The Puget Sound Ecosystem Monitoring Program (PSEMP) is a collaboration of state, federal, tribal and local government agencies, non-governmental organizations, watershed groups, business, academic researchers, local integrating organizations, and other private and volunteer groups and organizations - all dedicated to monitoring environmental conditions in Puget Sound.

It is sponsored by the Puget Sound Partnership and prepares recommendations for the PSP Science Panel.
