Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, is a non-profit group on Whidbey Island, WA. We are not affiliated with any political party, religious group, commercial entity, or other social conformity, except universal respect. It is our goal to relocate Growler jet flight carrier landing practice operations to an environmentally suitable, regionally strategic, and welcoming location with sufficient training infrastructure. Our mission is to protect the health and welfare of the inhabitants of the region, including the marine, migratory and endangered species, and to preserve Whidbey Island and the historic northwest communities being threatened by military jet training flights.
COER is a founding member of the Sound Defense Alliance (SDA). Sound Defense Alliance is a coalition of groups and individuals that have come together to restore the balance between community priorities and military convenience.
