The goal of the NEPTUNE project is to establish a regional-scale ocean observatory in the northeast Pacific Ocean. The Project's 3,000-km network of fiber-optic/power cables will encircle and cross the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate in the northeast Pacific Ocean, an area roughly 500 km by 1,000 km in size.

The Sound

How big was the glacier that carved out Puget Sound? What kinds of fish live in Puget Sound? Why does Puget Sound get so much rain? What was life like for the people who first lived around Puget Sound?

The answers to hundreds of questions about Puget Sound now can be found in the interactive electronic screens of The Sound CD-ROM, sponsored by Washington Sea Grant Program and the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington.
