The MaST Center is located near the Redondo Beach Park in Des Moines, WA and offers a unique waterfront laboratory and classroom in the lower Puget Sound. It provides a venue to educate and engage the community in issues impacting the Puget Sound including coastal development, storm water runoff, marine pollution and salmon recovery. It is our hope to enrich people's lives and benefit the environment through programs that educate the public about the organisms in and around the Puget Sound ecosystem. For more information on the MaST Center please visit the webpage at http://mast.highline.edu.
If you have any questions, please contact Woody Moses at wmoses@highline.edu.
Thanks much!
