| 3 | | | Science Work Plan Implementation Report |
| Laura Rivas | 05/07/26 | 05/29/26 | | I am looking for help finalizing a report I delivered to the Science Panel in April. The communications guidelines document indicates that reports require a communications consultation. While the Science Panel received a near final draft of the report, I would not like to move it to final. I think I would specifically need help checking the document for accessibility, ensuring it is within our agency branding for reports aesthetically, and ultimately posting a link to the report on the Science Work Plan webpage. You may see other needs in this process that you can help me with too and I would welcome them. The current iteration of the report can be found on box here: https://pspwa.box.com/s/44sijjgp6xnj56rw5gllc3a9zfknkkdp | Katie Love | | | | New | | This deadline indicates the date by which I would hope for a consult and we could establish a timeline for the tasks from there. I would like to have the report online no later than August 2026 so that it is easily available to the Science Panel as they begin developing the next funding solicitation. | 2025-626 |  | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |
| 4 | | | Community engagement stickers |
| Signe Lindquist | 02/24/26 | 04/01/26 | 5/4 Got quotes - Jon checking budget to make sure it can get printed. 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,
Signe | Chase Nuuhiwa | Chase Nuuhiwa | | | Active | https://pspwa.box.com/s/410o741gp9e71vvdfwipvxlnmun1vurl | I set a deadline of early April because community engagement season starts in April and it would be great to have stickers ready before I go to all of the in-person things this year! | 2025-513 | | | | | | | jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov | | | | | | |

| 21 | | | Progress Indicator Target Fact Sheets |
| Laura Vary | 05/05/26 | 06/05/26 | | 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 | Ian McCabe | Medium - requires consultation meeting | ASAP | Active | | These fact sheets complement Progress Indicator targets that will first be announced in the 2026-2030 Action Agenda.

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 | Medium - requires consultation meeting | | Active | | Deadline is to establish a first consult meeting with the group named above.

| 70 | | | Special Issue of Coastal Management Journal |
| Becky Hollender | 05/08/26 | 07/31/26 | | 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! | | | | | New | | 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 | | | | | | | web-form@smartsheet.com | | | | | | |
