2011 Action Agenda workshops, hosted by: Puget Sound Partnership

Dates: Sept. 13, 14, & 15; Oct. 13, 14

The 2011 Action Agenda update will focus on strategies  and near term actions related to recently adopted recovery targets to reduce pressures on the Puget Sound ecosystem from land development, shoreline alteration, runoff from the built environment, wastewater, and loss of floodplain function.

These workshops
will be held on:

*   September 13: Land development, loss of floodplain function, and
other strategies related to terrestrial and freshwater protection and
restoration
*   September 14: Runoff from the built environment, wastewater,
toxics prevention and cleanup, and other strategies related to
controlling, preventing and eliminating pollution of Puget Sound
*   September 15: Shoreline alteration, estuary restoration, and
other strategies related to marine and nearshore protection and
restoration

The October workshops will be in Renton and will further discuss and
refine strategies, sub-strategies and near-term actions. These
workshops will be held on:

*   October 13: Land development, loss of floodplain function,
shoreline alteration and other strategies related to terrestrial,
freshwater, marine, and nearshore protection and restoration
*   October 14: Runoff from the built environment, wastewater,
toxics prevention and cleanup, and other strategies related to
controlling, preventing and eliminating pollution of Puget Sound

It would be great to have Board participation in these Workshops both
to offer your perspectives and to hear first-hand how other interests
are responding.

Please let us know — via e-mail to Kathleen Igros at
kathleen.igros@psp.wa.gov — by August 31 if you can participate.
This information could change, but we would like to have a sense of
interest for each workshop.
