Individuals from the Duwamish River Clean-up Coalition—James Rasmussen and Paulina Lopez—received Environmental Justice & Equity and Water Quality & Monitoring Expert Awards in 2018 and 2019. Using the award funds, the organization created a tri-fold informational brochure for use in their community.
