Updated on October 26th, 2021 to extend application submission to November 22nd, 2021.
Want to make your voice, lived experience, and perspectives support Puget Sound’s recovery as a place and community? Well, now’s your opportunity to apply for one of three advisory teams- called “SIATs”- Strategic Initiative Advisory Teams, which apply to three broad domains of Habitat, Shellfish, and Stormwater.
These teams are standing two-year commitments to help shape approaches, policies, link science to action, and address important issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion, climate change, and the ability of humans to positively shape our local environment and benefit from its gifts and bounty. Participation is through meetings, phone calls, document/approach reviews, and decisions regarding project funding.
The efforts to recover Puget Sound are supported by EPA’s National Estuary Program. As the second-largest estuary in the United States, Puget Sound is a complex ecosystem that embodies a spectacular physical, social, cultural, and economic mosaic. By joining a SIAT, you can help shape the approaches, technical interventions, policies, and innovations that move us all in the right direction.
The tie that binds us together is our shared dedication to sustaining and improving the vitality and health of a truly unique place that is wildly productive– nearly exploding with agricultural and seafood bounties—a history charted by 10,000 years of Indian cultural pathways and traditions, and a wildness juxtaposed against an international economy.
The Habitat, Shellfish, and Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead Teams invite you to apply!
