PSNERP Informational Day - June 9th

Dear Restoration Practioners:

The Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP) invites you to attend an Informational Day at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Seattle District Office on June 9th from 10:00 to 2:00. The purpose of the meeting is to present the results of PSNERP’s efforts to identify strategic sites for nearshore restoration and protection in Puget Sound.

Come join us if you would like to:

1. Hear more about PSNERP’s methods of identifying strategic nearshore restoration and protection sites, and

2. Learn how we think this information can help us move forward with the recovery of Puget Sound.

It is particularly important for potential project sponsors to attend, as both PSNERP and the Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program (ESRP) will rely on this information to make decisions about selecting projects in the future. PSNERP is specifically looking for a close alignment between the strategic sites and the recently updated list of projects that are recorded in the Nearshore Project Database. ESRP will use the strategic sites to inform their decision making regarding funding of future project requests.

Please send me your RSVP no later than June 4th. If you are unable to attend, please note that we are recording the presentations on video and intend to post each segment online afterwards. This announcement is also available on our website at http://www.pugetsoundnearshore.org/.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or email me.
