Our Setting
The Triton Initiative is part of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Coastal Sciences Division, based at PNNL-Sequim. The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory at PNNL-Sequim sits at the mouth of Sequim Bay on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and links a small, relatively undisturbed embayment to the Strait of Juan de Fuca—the body of water separating the United States and Canada—to the Pacific Ocean.
PNNL maintains a variety of vessels, facilities, and equipment to enable research, provide a platform for development of instrumentation and data collection, and support software design and data analysis and the evaluation of potential impacts to marine systems.
