| | | 04/17/26 | | Help to make a publishable version of a report outlining the implementation of the 2025-2029 Science Work Plan. I will write the report but would appreciate an eye for readability, plain talk, accessibility, and PSP branding. | Workplan request | | Chase Nuuhiwa, Ian McCabe, Katie Love | 12/31/29 | | Laura Rivas | This is the scheduled end of the milestone in monday.com.

Researchers generate the content following a template. I would ask the Comms team to help us edit their drafts for plain language, accessibility, and PSP branding. | Workplan request | | Chase Nuuhiwa, Ian McCabe, Katie Love | 12/31/27 | | Laura Rivas | This is a two part request. The deadline indicated is for the first part to generate the pre-project fact sheets based on when I expect selected projects to be under contract and will have generated the pre-project fact sheet. I expect the second deadline for part two of the work (the post-project fact sheet) to be August 2029. | 2025-602 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | | 04/14/26 | | Towards June 2027 I will have initial results and findings from this biennium's CEE project that i will need to create communication materials with. This is a broad milestone from the work planning process. Potential products may include 1 pagers, article in Making Waves and presentations to internal and external entities. This will bleed into late summer 2027, without one official deadline. | Workplan request | | | 12/31/27 | | Raquel Gilliland | This is a made-up deadline that gives time after June 2027 to process the findings and create communication materials. | 2025-591 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |
| 10 | | | | Salmon effectiveness by watershed communication materials for legislators |
| | | 04/14/26 | | I am working with the salmon team to research salmon restoration projects and see what success stories they tell as a conglomerate of projects having positive impacts of salmon populations. And what other indirect positive impacts have occurred such as increase in marine bird populations, reduced flooding risk, increase invertebrate populations, safer access for people, or fewer pollutants in the water? Taking that information and turning it into digestible formats for a legislative audience. I will also work closely with the legislative affairs team to create communication products that display the effectiveness of the work of the Partnership and our partners. | Workplan request | | | 12/18/26 | | Raquel Gilliland | The 2027 legislative season begins on January 13th and I would like to get this done before the holidays and with enough time for Don to use it before the session starts. | 2025-592 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | | 10/12/26 | | Thank you for all your help to put the finishing touches on the 2020-2024 Science Work Plan Implementation Report. We posted it in Board materials here (https://pspwa.box.com/s/6lvapmq59guu6keh2dvwgvtm77tbvbw6) and are now thinking it would be good to link to it on the science webpage. This could be as simple as adding a link to the right side of the page "See also" or "Related documents" sections or we could add a small section to the page. Let's discuss and then do it. Thanks! | Active | | | 11/06/26 | | Laura Rivas | This is a fairly arbitrary timeline to indicate that it is not urgent and can be flexible. | 2025-695 | | | | | | | chase.nuuhiwa@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | | 08/21/26 | | I'd love Comms Team support in promoting the community resource site. I’d love to see PSP post about it on social media, send an email to community partners (I can draft the email to community partners but may need some of your support in getting it reviewed and published), and make announcements about this in all relevant meeting spaces (I can lead that effort, but welcome Comms Team input on this if you'd like). I know we have the Making Waves article planned about this as well, and the content for that should be all ready.
I also welcome your reactions/suggestions on strategy here. | Active | | | 10/30/26 | | Signe Lindquist | Deadline is fairly arbitrary.

| 29 | | | | CAC resource page 1-pager |
| | | 08/25/26 | | The Community Advocacy Council is getting close to finalizing and publishing a resource page (the one that Ian has been amazing at supporting us with!!). Once that page is published, the CAC wants to promote the resource webpage within their networks, and they asked me to come up with a flyer that they could send around to their networks. I drafted a mock-up (basically, I used canva to paste some information into it while using the formatting from the Action Agenda 1 pager that Chase made for us). I sent the mock-up to CAC members to get their reactions.
Once I have their feedback, I'll want to finalize the flyer and send it to them in a format that they can share out with their networks. I'm wondering if Chase might be able to help me with all of the formatting involved in doing this.
I'll attach a copy of that mock-up file I mentioned. Please let me know if you have any questions! | Active | | | 09/30/26 | | Signe Lindquist | I am waiting on CAC edits on the flyer and won't have all edits in until 9/17.

| 30 | | | | Future Scenarios Web edit |
| | | 08/21/26 | | Hi Comms team,
We’ve made a few simple proofreading edits to the narrative documents, and would love to get them uploaded to the PSP public Box folder if possible: Scenarios | Powered by Box. Here are the updated narratives:
• SF: https://pspwa.box.com/s/mmxj3nq8b6t9btb5e94tefxj4fptzg1y
• NG: https://pspwa.box.com/s/gdttbf0jldibbx35yq265273n136tgzw

• HYB: https://pspwa.box.com/s/pgrzn3ivzuvrr1ks5m6a15z6kfdwjgj4
Also, is it possible to remove the older documents from this folder? There are some scenario overviews from 2023 that might confuse folks if they’re trying to find the most up to date information. The Ross team does not have editing permissions for this folder, unfortunately! If it’s better for us to send these requests directly to the Comms team, please let me know.
If replacing the narratives in the public folder means that there is a new link, please update the web page accordingly to direct visitors to the correct narrative link.
Please let me know if it is easier to talk through the request and we can work through it. Thank you! | Active | | | 09/04/26 | | Laura Rivas | I believe this is a minor change request (not a full project) and would like it to be done as soon as possible. But I also recognize you are short-staffed and possibly on summer leave schedules. This deadline, of course, is flexible. | 2025-681 | | | | | | | chase.nuuhiwa@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | | 08/13/26 | | Hi Comms,
The SFT is preparing one more report for release by or very shortly after September 10, 2026, and we would appreciate your help in designing a layout and info graphic for - similar to the riparian pieces we've been working on with you.
We had approached you previously about the infographic but then writing edits changed it significantly, so we decided to hold off till writing was further along.
We would like to meet with you ahead of when any work starts on this to talk about the layout and infographic just so that we're aligned on the specifics of this resource.
Here is the draft language for this resource: https://pspwa.box.com/s/q7o75juay9mbhyjzb5wcwvvqcbmni21s
I am attaching the previously drafted info graphic (Four Primary Funding Barriers 2026), and an updated details of the infographic (Updated infographic info) to this request for reference.
We can give you more detailed explanation on the request when we meet.
Thank you very much for your work on this and all of our products! | Active | | | 09/10/26 | | Ali Carter | Presentation at the ECB meeting that day. | 2025-680 | | | | | | | chase.nuuhiwa@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| 37 | | | | | 07/23/26 | | Hello comms team! I created a template for our partners to aid in strategic prospecting for grant opportunities. It helps them determine if a funding opportunity is in alignment with pre-determined considerations that are important and unique to their organization. I presented on this template earlier this month and said I would share the template with interested folks when able. I did ask if I needed to go through comms before I said I would share it, and it was decided we would figure that out on the back end and share when possible. Emilie instructed that I reach out to you all for copy editing and plain talk, and to reach out to Jenn C. to get a blurb about EPA funding to add in (reaching out today for that as well 7/23/26). Thank you!! | Active | | | 08/19/26 | | Michelle Deckard | No real deadline, but I would like to be able to follow up with partners in a reasonable timeframe. Apologies I did not reach out prior to my presentation, I have been busy with TA requests, and the presentation content was last minute!

| 40 | | | | Indicator/Target Icon Revisions |
| | | 07/17/26 | | What we request:
- Feedback on trend/status category names and mock-ups to ensure our final suite of icons are plain talked and accessible (by 10/1/2026)
- The development of 6 new icons that describe indicator trend and target status (4 icons relating to trend and 2 icons relating to status; by 10/31/2026)
- The revision of 2 existing icons relating to target status (by 10/31/2026)
Rationale/context:
PS Info, PSP presentations, and the State of the Sound use a suite of icons to describe indicators managed by PSP. The primary purpose of these icons is to quickly and clearly articulate scientific data and trends to non-scientific audiences.
Feedback on the existing icons has been shared with the indicator program leads frequently over the last 2 years. This feedback highlights areas where the current suite of icons fails to accurately reflect the data they represent. The agency spends significant time and money harnessing data across various monitoring programs to communicate ecosystem conditions and human activities. Each indicator has a depth of associated information. Without clear icons, we are underutilizing the information available to us from our investments in science/monitoring and limiting our ability to drive action across the recovery community.
These proposed changes were developed by the indicator program leads (myself, Kenna, Megan) and reviewed by Alex, Kirsten, and Scott. We anticipate that some changes to status names may be required for plain talking/understandability/accessibility and look forward to Comms Team's expertise in this area.
More information on the rationale for these changes can be found here (also attached): https://pspwa.box.com/s/pakty30a6x854lq9ycly5vcykb5paqs8.
Who it's for:
These icons are used by PSP staff and external partners who report on indicators. These requested changes ensure that we are responsive to feedback from internal and external partners, including members of the Science Panel.
Thank you! | Active | | | 10/31/26 | | Laura Vary | We hope to work on this effort in earnest with Comms in September, so that all feedback to ensure plain talking and accessibility can be received by 10/1/2026. We would then like final versions of new and revised icons by 10/31/2026. This timeline will allow us adequate time to work with indicator reporters to apply the new/revised icons to indicators prior to the 2027 State of the Sound. | 2025-670 | | | | | | | chase.nuuhiwa@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | Task | 06/17/26 | | The current links on the psp.wa.gov/psraft go to the old version of RAFT.
We were wondering if it was possible to make the PSP page just redirect to RAFT? I'm not sure if this is possible, if not can you update both the link at the start of the text and the link for the image to:
https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/6f12941d99644b0e93deaed86f1674f0/
Would it be possible to update the image to be a current screenshot of the RAFT home page?
Additionally - there are 3 links to RAFT on the https://psp.wa.gov/strategic-funding-program.php page. 1 is under the RAFT section and two are under the FAQ section.

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 😊

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!! | Waiting on Client | | Chase Nuuhiwa, Jonathan Bridgman | | | Jennifer Burke | | 2025-537 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| 92 | Science - SCI | | | Special Issue of Coastal Management Journal |
| | Small | 05/08/26 | | 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! | Complete | Jonathan Bridgman | Jonathan Bridgman | 07/31/26 | | Becky Hollender | 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 | | | | | | |
| 93 | ASAP - ASP | | | Progress Indicator Target Fact Sheets |
| | Medium - requires consultation meeting | 05/05/26 | 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! | Complete | Ian McCabe | Chase Nuuhiwa, Ian McCabe | 06/05/26 | https://pspwa.box.com/s/5zrk4cnustkln22vfxodt2blpi9k4r21 | Laura Vary | These fact sheets complement Progress Indicator targets that will first be announced in the 2026-2030 Action Agenda. The Leadership Council is approving the Action Agenda on or soon after June 3-4, 2026. I would therefore like to have these fact sheets ready to publish and share soon after the finalization/adoption of the Action Agenda. | 2025-625 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| | | 04/16/26 | 5/5/26 discussed with Todd. The ask involves participating with a group of experts to make some GIS data from Western more accessible to a wider audience. | As part of our commitments in the EPA Work Plan, I added the Comms Team to participate in a panel this summer that Western Washington U.'s Spatial Institute is convening to guide how EPA/ECCC/PSP and WWU simplify and post results from recent GIS analyses for the public in Canada and USA to read on the internet (hopefully on the US side as well as via Environment Climate Change Canada's site). We are also asking Kenna to contribute as a technical expert who can try to align the approaches with Vital Signs and Indicator content. In the next few weeks, WWU might also seek to engage with Comms to make sure they have access to our latest design guidance. | Complete | Jonathan Bridgman | Jonathan Bridgman | 05/04/26 | | Todd Hass | Just want a chance to go over the finer details in a Teams meeting with Jon and/or other folks on the team. | 2025-595 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |
| 96 | Science - SCI | | | Restoration Economy Report |

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. | Complete | Katie Love | Katie Love | 05/16/26 | https://pspwa.box.com/s/cnm4qrhqbvm13t0yymiev03h3s369nci | Becky Hollender | 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 | | | | | | |
