PSP is holding a series of open houses in various locations around the Sound this month. Their purpose (as shown on their website,) is to:
· share information about PSP's measure of Puget Sound health - the Vital Signs;
· highlight Puget Sound recovery priorities and accomplishments, especially any local priorities and accomplishments;
· describe the upcoming update to the Puget Sound recovery plan, the Action Agenda, and get public input;
· provide general educational information about Puget Sound, recovery, and what individuals can do to help.
The San Juan County event will be on the inter-island ferry on Wed. Oct 19. The presentations will begin when the ferry departs from Friday Harbor at 11:30 am, and will continue for two round trips through the islands, returning to FH at 5:10 pm.
In addition to the PSP part of the afternoon, island environmental organizations are encouraged to set up displays as well, and Kwiaht intern Aileen Murphy is helping to organize a display with handouts and photos of all three of the islands’ Marine Health Observatories. Email Aileen: aileendmurphy@gmail.com before Oct 17 if you’d like to help. Islanders can board the ferry at any point during the afternoon to enjoy and learn from the information presented.
