Issues and concerns about Salmon sticker. Chase is suggesting forgoing design, but team that has concerns still wants it. Jon and Chase to discuss more details. | From an email I sent to Jon today:
Hi Jon,
I hope you’re having a good week. I’m circling back to you to get a sticker order placed, like we briefly chatted about during the last in-person all staff meeting. Thanks again for being so creative and open to trying new things with me on this idea!
Here’s what I’m imagining:
• Create 4 different sticker designs, using the four sea creatures in the image files attached. Slap the PSP logo onto the sticker as well. Would you or someone on Comms Team be able to do this?
• Order 200 die-cut single stickers of each design (800 stickers total). Here is a site I found that looks like it offers a good price. But if you have a preferred site to use, I’m open to what you want to use!
• Does Comms Team have budget to order these? The cost before tax and shipping on UPrinting.com looks like it would be $133.60 (plus tax and maybe shipping).
Let me know what you think! I’ll also submit a comms request for this to help you track my request 😊
Best,

| 30 | Complete | Science - SCI | | | Special Issue of Coastal Management Journal |
| | Small | | Hi!
The SSAC is on the brink of publishing a Special Issue of Coastal Management Journal, that is over 2 years in the making. It consists of 5 peer reviewed articles that reflect the diversity and impact of the environmental social sciences for Puget Sound recovery. The issue should be published online in May and in-print in July.
At a minimum, I'd like to spread this news via Gov Delivery and PSP social media once the issue is published. I'm also going to prioritize the SSAC website so that we can post the link there!
SSAC members, including myself, will be many conference, Boards, and other presentations in our future (e.g. to EPA Science Working Groups).
Laura Rivas had the idea to eventually do a Plain-Talked and/or Graphical Version of the entire issue...which I think is a brilliant idea! Some SSAC members have seen graphical versions of abstracts....there are lots of ideas and this wouldn't be time sensitive.
An interview with SSAC members for a Making Waves issue could also be great! | Jonathan Bridgman | Jonathan Bridgman | 07/31/26 | | Becky Hollender | 05/08/26 | Gov delivery, social media, and posting link to issue on the website could come as soon as the issue is published online. The print issue will be available in July, which is why I'm listing that deadline.
There is no deadline for a plain-talked version or the Making Waves issue...that can be extended to when Comms Team has more capacity. | 2025-629 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| 41 | Waiting on Client | Salmon - SAL | | | Salmon Hub Summer Low Flow Dashboard |
| | | | Chase is aware, we are in need of some design and communications support for a summer low flow dashboard that will appear on the Salmon Recovery Hub homepage and also will serve as a template for additional topics (appear as tabbed topics on the homepage) for the Salmon Hub. Originally was only going to be a map, however through conversations with Don and Kenna, we would like to craft some key messages and why the indicator is important in VERY brief context along with some metrics about recovery projects and $ investments using live data from RCO.
The need is both design layout of the application and later a communications review of the short narratives.
The work will be coordinated through our weekly Salmon Hub meetings with Comms. Thank you!! | | Chase Nuuhiwa, Jonathan Bridgman | | | Jennifer Burke | 03/03/26 | | 2025-537 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |
| 42 | Waiting on Client | Salmon - SAL | | | Puget Sound Implementation Plan Commitment Tracking Survey |
| | | 1/5/2026 - Jon - I think we route surveys through the Jen/Jon review process. | We are developing a survey to collect data on the progress implementers are making on their commitments. The survey will be submitted annually starting in June 2026. The Partnership will use the data to create an accountability dashboard and inform adaptive management. | | Jonathan Bridgman | | | Melissa Speeg | 12/30/25 | | 2025-433 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |
| 43 | Complete | Science - SCI | | | Restoration Economy Report |
| | Medium - requires consultation meeting | 6/1 separated into smaller tasks. June 25 Blue Economy leg tour - would be good to get the report done by then. Vendor is doing the design at this point. 5/20 need to decide capacity to make an article for making waves. 5/7 kickoff meeting. Next step is for Jon, Larry, and Becky to meet and prioritize workload around this. Note to close this request and start a new one once the communications deliverables have been decided on.
4/22 kickoff meeting scheduled for May 7 | IEc, our economics contractor, will be finalizing a study on the "Restoration Economy" by the end of April. The messaging from this study is important for legislative work, as well as communications with Boards and other NEPs. It will also be important for LIOs and other partners.
Larry would like communications materials to be developed out of the report, but I'm not yet clear on what materials are most suited to needs. He wants to "go big" with this report's findings and key messages.
As a first step, a meeting to better understand the needs, including myself, Larry, Don, and Ahren, would be great! Please also include Laura Rivas as optional.
I'm uploading a first set of talking points below that will be used at PSDOH, but the final report will be much more elaborate and include graphics. IEc will be making a slide deck to present the findings to Boards - I am unsure about whether changes will be needed to make it more on-brand. | Katie Love | Katie Love | 05/16/26 | https://pspwa.box.com/s/cnm4qrhqbvm13t0yymiev03h3s369nci | Becky Hollender | 04/09/26 | Deadline is to establish a first consult meeting with the group named above. Final materials should be available by then. The thinking behind this deadline is that after the consult, additional time will be needed to develop the materials. It would be good to have final materials developed by mid-June, before IEc begins making presentations to the Boards. | 2025-589 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | Medium - requires consultation meeting | 5/20 - Ian - Gave the fact sheets a plain talk edit. Laura reviewed and accepted some edits and rejected others. Sent to Chase to review - https://pspwa.box.com/s/illiwu1f7a1c35m549b80tau0g7ldcr2 6/1 Updated and approved | I am requesting Communications support to develop two fact sheets introducing newly developed Progress Indicator Targets. Each fact sheet pertains to one target; there is an Urban Growth target and an Oil Spills target. These fact sheets will be used as complementary communication materials to the Puget Sound recovery community as the targets are published on PS Info and in the 2026-2030 Action Agenda. Setting targets and developing associated communication materials is a core responsibility and function of the Progress Indicator program. Attached are the mock-ups and content for each of these two fact sheets.
My goal is to have these target fact sheets available and published when the Action Agenda is adopted by the Leadership Council on or soon after June 3-4, 2026. I will plan to follow up on this request in late May and early June and am happy to meet at any time to discuss this request and answer any questions.
Thank you for your support on this request! | Ian McCabe | Chase Nuuhiwa, Ian McCabe | 06/05/26 | https://pspwa.box.com/s/5zrk4cnustkln22vfxodt2blpi9k4r21 | Laura Vary | 05/05/26 | These fact sheets complement Progress Indicator targets that will first be announced in the 2026-2030 Action Agenda.
