Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference domain transition
Todd Hass12/10/2501/05/2612/17 nothing to doCommunicationsWaiting on ClientWestern Washington U. and Salish Sea Institute have been paying for the domain name(s) for the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference, salishseaconference.org and salishseaconference.com since it went into hiatus a couple years ago. They want to end this commitment before June 2026. PSP and EPA have an international commitment with Environment Climate Change Canada to try to re-start the conference in the next few years. I want to see what level of commitment the maintenance of the domain represents for PSP AND discuss whether we could possibly support the archive of past conference materials that WWU hosts on their "Cedar" website (which seems unlikely).I have a monthly check in with EPA on 1/6 and I will be away between 1/8/26-2/10.2025-420jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

2026-2030 Action Agenda (Draft for Public Comment)
Robb10/31/2512/12/25truetrue12/1 - Plain talk review complete. 11/10: meeting with Robb takeaways -- by Dec 12, format text boxes, respond to "for comms" comment boxes, Ian assigned some plain talk checks, requests for 6 graphics in draft (some already exist, some are new)Chase Nuuhiwa, Ian McCabe, Katie LovePlanningActivePlanning Team will be done with our text edits to the Action Agenda on Monday, November 10th. At that point, we’ll be asking for Comms to help with a few finishing touches before the document goes out for public review and comment.

Some of the requests we have in mind include:
• Formatting text boxes. We plan to have a few text boxes throughout the document. Currently the text we want in those boxes isn’t formatted properly.
• Plain talk. Ian did a great job with his initial plain talk review of the Topic descriptions. A lot of other edits have happened since then, so having another review would be nice if there’s capacity to do so.
• Graphics. We don’t’ want this to be a fully polished document (it’s mostly text), but there are a handful of graphics that we could create for the public review version. Again, this is capacity dependent. Here’s the folder where graphic work has already been captured: (61) Graphics | Powered by Box
• Press release/notification about Action Agenda update. TBD how widely we want to announce the public comment period, but wanted to put this on your radar.
word draft -https://pspwa.box.com/s/qivs5nmds24t3wb1jlh4hg97iazd3wrfThe Action Agenda goes live for public comment on January 5th. With Holidays and to give time for staff to prep the document for public review (and to give us some wiggle room just in case), we picked the 12th.2025-386jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

Updates to Progress Indicator logo and Indicator Relationship Graphic
Laura Vary11/13/2512/31/2512/17 we are now changing this to Puget Sound Progress Indicators. We can update the logo. 11/19 Jon will check in with Kirsten about waiting to start until we have our meetingChase Nuuhiwa, Jonathan BridgmanActiveI would like to request a change to the Progress Indicator logo and related updates to the Indicator Relationship Graphic (developed over the summer and first used in State of the Sound 2025). The requested changes are described and visualized in detail in the associated slide deck (supporting document) and have been vetted and approved by Kenna, Megan, Lila, Alex, and Kirsten. These changes are necessary to facilitate ongoing use of the Progress Indicator logo and the indicator relationship graphic; the changes will make these products accurate and correctly aligned with the Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs. These products are used heavily by both the Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs and will be used to update the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet (separate request for that update forthcoming).The Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs are working to develop an updated version of the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet and Puget Sound Indicators presentation for PSP staff. We would like to present to staff on Puget Sound Indicators in February and thus request these products to be updated by end of year 2025 or very early 2026 for our use.2025-402jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet
Laura Vary11/13/2512/31/2512/17 sent laura an email asking for a status updateWaiting on ClientThe Progress Indicator, Salmon Habitat Indicator, and Vital Signs programs are working together to update the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet (https://pspwa.app.box.com/file/906302518755?s=o23f9meiyo2qeyn8777r8ownzj79k0zc). Our programs need an authoritative fact sheet to ensure consistency in communication, alignment across programs, and PSP staff/partner engagement. This fact sheet is frequently referenced when introducing our indicator system and describing specifics around the indicators but it has significantly out-of-date language.

We have not yet finished our revised version, but we would like the fact sheet updated by the end of 2025. I wanted to submit the communications request anyhow to be mindful of your capacity and support planning of tackling requests in late 2025. We will get a revised version of the fact sheet to you in early December.
The Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs would like an updated version of the fact sheet to support communication around the indicators to partners and PSP staff. We would like to present to staff on Puget Sound Indicators in February and thus request these products to be updated by end of year 2025 for our use.2025-403jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov
