Strait Ecosystem Recovery Network
Ecosystem Protection and Recovery
NODC is the administrative and fiscal home of the Strait Ecosystem Recovery Network (Strait ERN), a Local Integrating Organization (LIO) for the Strait of Juan de Fuca Action Area on the North Olympic Peninsula.
Strait ERN is a collaborative network working toward a healthy and resilient ecosystem that sustains all life and human wellbeing on the North Olympic Peninsula and along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The area served by the Strait Ecosystem Recovery Network stretches across the entire northern edge of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula from Cape Flattery to Point Wilson.
