Staff will email MRC to request participants for expos. • OLYMPIA - Climate change is already affecting Washington's economy, according to a study requested by the departments of Ecology and Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED) that was released last week. Staff distributed a DOE news release. • Staff developed comments on the Southern Resident Killer Whale recovery plan per MRC’s direction. Wendy accomplished the majority of the legwork on the comments. The letter will go as an attachment to the County’s cover letter. • The Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act was established to support a program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Coast Guard to help identify, determine sources of, assess, reduce, and prevent marine debris and its adverse impacts on the marine environment and navigation safety, in coordination with non-Federal entities, and for other purposes. • Sound Waters will be on Saturday, Feb 3rd in Coupeville. Main topics include derelict fishing gear, low impact development, oiled wildlife response, ala spit restoration, creosote debris removal, salmon and the nearshore. The event is cosponsored by WSU Beach Watchers Island County and PSAT. Contact Linda Lyshall for more information. • Staff announced that Lew Moore will be presenting to the House Select Committee on Puget Sound this Friday to request funds from the state budget to support the MRCs. If granted, his proposal would give Snohomish County enough funding to support an additional full time employee for the MRC. • Jen Sevigny announced that Washington is proposing legislation to become the first state in the nation to ban PBDE (a fire retardant in mattresses, computers and furniture). Jen noted that scientists are currently working on PBDE substitutes that would be more environmentally friendly. Draft MRC Meeting Summary January 17, 2007 Page 2 of 9 • Staff announced that the Nearshore Cooperative Meeting will be held this Friday from 1:00- 3:00pm at the county campus. MRC member participation is encouraged. The meeting will include discussion of potential collaborative events such as a Jetty Island cleanup, United Way Day of Caring Event, the Nearshore Action Plan Grant with the Forum and potential soft shore armoring project. Public Comment • Linda Lyshall passed around the Puget Sound Partnership Recommendations and Puget Sound Action Team’s Conservation and Recovery Plan. She will bring PSAT’s “State of the Sound” next meeting; she noted that this year’s is the best ever, with great pictures and solid data. Mary Cunningham requested a copy of the Conservation and Recovery Plan. • Keeley O’Connell distributed literature about People For Puget Sound, including an urban waterfront brochure and flyers for the Anacortes Starlight Beach Walk on Friday January 19 from 8-10 pm at Washington Park. Keeley informed the MRC about People For Puget Sound’s Sound Stewardship Program, which involves citizens in site monitoring in restoration (with a one year commitment) bringing together habitat and people for long term solutions. She is partnering with Tom Murphy, EdCC and Jon Houghton to work on Jetty Island. She noted that she has begun conversations with Staff regarding Sound Stewardship work at Kayak Point and Picnic Point parks, along with Union Slough (not Ebey Slough…per Keeley 1-22-07). Dawn Lawrence inquired about the role of students in Sound Stewardship. Keeley mentioned that she has had students work on one time restoration projects for sites. Heather McCartney suggested looking at past restoration sign-ups as a place to start looking for volunteers for Kayak and Picnic Point. She also suggested getting sophomores and juniors involved in the effort so they could participate for over a year before graduation. Chrys Bertolotto suggested working with a teacher who could continue the effort year after year; Keeley noted that she is going to talk with Cindy McIntyre who takes students out to Jetty Island. Jon Houghton commented that the Sound Stewardship program is a great way to continue the 5 year monitoring program on Jetty Island because data will be collected in a way that saves the Port money. Alan Mearns inquired as to what type of data will be collected on Jetty Island. Jon replied that it will be primarily data on natural and transplanted vegetation. • Mary Cunningham commented that Tony Reese, who has been a helicopter pilot for the MRC’s creosote removal efforts, was involved in a crash and was hospitalized. He is now at home and recovering, but is talking about retirement. Mary suggested the MRC send flowers and a card; all agreed. Staff will coordinate with Mary. • Jon Houghton noted that the restoration work on the south end of Jetty Island will begin within the month. The South end will be enlarged as well as material dropped on Scotch’s Broom. Dawn Lawrence inquired about the Rail-barge facility. Jon noted that the crane has been ordered and should arrive in late 2007 or early 2008. Heather McCartney mentioned that there is currently no public access to the area due to archeological finds and that she would like to set up a tour of the facility in March. Action Items MRC Elections & Terms Mary Cunningham was elected to serve as the next Snohomish County MRC chair. Dawn Lawrence was elected to serve as the vice-chair. It is noted that the bylaws state that both Chairperson and Vice Chairperson (when requested by the Chairperson) have the authority to sign documents on behalf of the MRC. Note: The election for the NWSC Representative was not held. The MRC will hold elections for Draft MRC Meeting Summary January 17, 2007 Page 3 of 9 this position at the MRC meeting on February 21st. MRC members should contact Mary Cunningham, MRC Chair, to nominate MRC members. MRC Bylaws Revisions Staff recommended revising the bylaws as follows: 2. MRC Membership 2.1 General Previous text: “MRC membership is determined according to the provisions of Chapter 2.03 of the Snohomish County Code and Ordinance 99-080.” Amended Text: “MRC membership is determined according to the provisions of Chapter 2.03 and Chapter 2.800 of the Snohomish County Code.” Members approved the amendment by concensus. Project Updates 2006 NWSC Supplemental Funds and Grant Amendments The grant amendment is in process but won’t likely be completed for up to another month. Staff will start the process of selecting contractors. Mussel Watch Program Alan Mearns announced that, due to unforeseen events, we will be able to identify Mussel Watch sites this spring but will not start collection and monitoring until late August or September. Some endocrine disruptors are always relatively high in Puget Sound and we need to find out if this is due partly to run off in the wet season as samples are only collect in winter.

  • Introduction
    Workshop Summary Report Salish Sea Fish Assemblage Workshop September 18th 2018 Seattle, Washington Prepared by Zoe van Duivenbode Introduction Changes in the composition and abundance of fish assemblages within the Salish Sea region have long been a topic of interest for management, as they can result in a variety of possible consequences associated with species/population management, habitat conservation, and ecological shifts. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and SeaDoc Society organized a workshop to gather managers, researchers, and policy-makers involved in Salish Sea fish assemblages to share and discuss evidence of fish community change, impacts of change on species and ecosystem recovery, and to align management priorities and identify research needs. Further, the idea for a workshop originally was identified within the Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan for yelloweye rockfish and bocaccio of the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin (NMFS 2017)1. It became clear that assessing rockfish assemblage change without the context of assessing available information on full fish assemblage change would be insufficient for addressing recovery needs. The goal of the workshop was to identify relevant time-series data, evaluate current research, and discuss how existing efforts may contribute to future management strategies. In addition to the host agencies, workshop participants represented a collection of agencies and organizations including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Puget Sound Restoration Fund, Seattle Aquarium, Samish Tribe’s Department of Natural Resources, Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Washington Department of Ecology, WDFW, University of Washington and more (see appendix for full list of participants and organizations).
