Among the Task Force’s major achievements this year I’d include the first Clean Pacific Conference, our Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area, my involvement on the Cosco Busan ISPR, the Green Ports Roundtable, meeting new friends from the East Coast state agencies, development of planning guidelines for convergent volunteer management, and initiation of our U.S./Canadian Transboundary spill planning and response project. My work on the Cosco Busan Incident-Specific Preparedness Review (ISPR) Team taught me a lot about what I know and what I don’t know about oil spill response, planning, and policy. Overall, the lessons learned and recommendations were valuable for the Task Force member agencies as well as for me. I must note, however, that there were several ironies involved in that response, not the least of which was the public and political reaction to a response that actually had an excellent recovery rate! While all the attention was intense, there were many good recommendations in the ISPR, and I’m pleased to see that they’re being taken to heart by contingency planners even beyond the San Francisco area. The 2007 Clean Pacific Conference was a big success, thanks to the hard work of the State of Washington, the many stakeholders who served on the Program Planning Committee, the session chairs and speakers, and the TradeFair Group who ran the show! We’re looking forward to building on that success at the 2009 Clean Pacific Conference, planned for September 15-16, 2009. My frustrations over the past year came solely from needing to find a better balance in my own workload. The ISPR work and the Volunteer Project replaced other tasks in our Annual Work 4 Plan, but on the other hand, it shows that we can be nimble and adjust as needed. However, I need to spend less time traveling to events – besides reducing my carbon footprint, it’s the only way for a one-person staff to get caught up! I continue to be impressed with the professionalism and commitment exhibited by the Task Force Member Agencies. As you read their updates

The U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan Council represents a collective of individuals and organizations interested in the long-term conservation of the hemisphere’s shorebirds. As you know, Grays Harbor is of hemispheric importance to migrant shorebirds as they travel along the Pacific coast, and human activities at coastal stopovers have a great potential to disrupt migration patterns. Research conducted at Grays Harbor, including at Bottle Beach, has shown that, especially in the spring, shorebirds are very sensitive to disturbance because they only have a few days to stop and refuel at this site on their way to breeding grounds in Alaska. Your recommendations in the proposal regarding construction timing and management plan development reflect your awareness of the importance of this shorebird stopover. However, we are concerned about the potential for increased levels of disturbance to shorebirds, which may result from development of a gravel trail parallel to the edge of the beach and the increased access points.

  • Distribution of Ochlerotatus Togoi Along the Pacific Coast of Washington
    Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2O(2):lO5-lO9,2OO4 Copyrighi @ 2OO4 by the American Mosquito Control Association' Inc' DISTRIBUTION OF OCHLEROTATUS TOGOI ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST OF WASHINGTON WILLIAM J. SAMES,I WLLIAM E, HERMAN,I DAVID A. FLORIN' ENN FRANCIS A. MALONEYI ABSTRACT. Before this study, the mosquito Ochlerotatus (Finlaya) togoi (-theobald) had been reported from only 2 locations within the continental Unitid States, both of which were documented in Washington State. This study used active and passive surveillance to determine the current distribution of Oc. toSoi along the Pacific Coast of Washington. Results of the study show that small, but stable, populations of Oc. togoi exist in the northern San Juan Island region of Puget Sound. Geological formations in this region are conducive to rock holes and support populations of Oc. togoi. No members of Oc. togoi were found on the southwestern Wash- ington coast, the coast of the Olympic Peninsula, or in the lower Puget Sound.

Box 42650 Olympia, WA 98504-2650 (360) 902-8500 TDD Telecommunications De vice for the De af: 800-833 -6388 www.parks.s tate.wa.us March 22, 2018 Item E-5: Iron Horse State Park Trail – Renaming Effort/Trail Update – Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This item reports to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission the current status of the process to rename the Iron Horse State Park Trail (which includes the John Wayne Pioneer Trail) and a verbal update on recent trail management activities. This item advances the Commission’s strategic goal: “Provide recreation, cultural, and interpretive opportunities people will want.” SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence trail operation today. The trail is located south of, and runs roughly parallel to I-90 (see Appendix 1). The 285-mile linear property extends from North Bend, at its western terminus, to the Town of Tekoa, on the Washington-Idaho border to the east. The property consists of former railroad corridor, the width of which varies between 100 feet and 300 feet. The trail tread itself is typically 8 to 12 feet wide and has been developed on the rail bed, trestles, and tunnels of the old Chicago Milwaukee & St.

All of those good stamps that we have been offering and selUng you over the past many years didn't just happen -they are the result of careful buying on our part. The rapidly increasing demand for stamps over the past two years has created a real challenge for us to find and buy more good material to offer our customers. It seems that the more we buy, the more we sell/ This may sound a bit like going around in a circle, but at least it is a good circle for everyone, not one of these "vicious" circles that we hear so much about/ All of this demand for good stamps does nothing but good for the seller. It ensures that he will obtain the proper market price for his collection. We are meeting the challenge by paying prices for good collections which no one would have dreamed possible even one year ago. If you are selling your collection you may approach us with confidence - we would like to prove our point to you that we are good buyers. ~eorge ~.

  • Alaska Fisheries: a Guide to History Resources
    November 30, 2015 Alaska Fisheries: A Guide to History Resources Prepared by the Alaska Historical Society’s Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative Compiled by Robert W. King, September 2015 Dedication This guide to the history resources of Alaska fisheries is dedicated to Wrangell historian Patricia “Pat” Ann Roppel (1938‐2015). Pat moved to Alaska in 1959 and wrote thirteen books and hundreds of articles, many about the history of Alaska fisheries, including Alaska Salmon Hatcheries and Salmon from Kodiak. Twice honored as Alaska Historian of the Year, Pat Roppel is remembered for the joy she took in research and writing, her support of fellow historians and local museums, and her enthusiasm and good humor. Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative The Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative was created in 2014 to document, preserve, and celebrate the history of Alaska's commercial fish processing plants, and better understand the role the seafood industry played in the growth and development of our state. Alaska boasts some of largest and best‐managed fisheries in the world. The state currently produces over 5 billion pounds of seafood products annually worth over $5 billion to its fishermen and even more on the wholesale and retail markets. Fisheries are closely regulated by state and federal authorities, and while fish populations naturally fluctuate, no commercially harvested species are being overfished. Canneries are central to the development of Alaska, but an overlooked and neglected part of our historic landscape. Only two Alaska canneries are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, although few historic resources have impacted Alaska’s economy and history as greatly.
