25 Year Strategic Goals
• Reduce air pollutant emissions by 50% from 2005 levels.
• Lead our industry's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategies by
reducing carbon emissions from all Port operations by 50% from 2005
levels and reducing aircraft-related GHG emissions at Sea-Tac by 25%.
• Meet future growth in energy usage through conservation and
renewable sources.
• Restore, create, and enhance 40 additional acres of habitat in the
Green/Duwamish watershed and Elliott Bay.
• Prevent sprawl in less developed areas of Puget Sound by anchoring our
region's urban industrial land use.
• Ensure all stormwater leaving Port operated facilities will meet or exceed
agency requirements and create partnerships that lead our industry in
stormwater quality improvements.
