Strait Ecosystem Recovery Network meets today in Blyn

BLYN — Members of the Strait of Juan de Fuca Ecosystem Recovery Network will discuss wilderness preservation proposals and local Puget Sound Champion Awards when they meet today.

The quarterly meeting of the group, which also is known as Strait ERN, will be from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Red Cedar Meeting Hall at the Jamestown S’Klallam Community Center, 1033 Old Blyn Highway.

The meeting is open to the public.

Agenda items include speakers on existing and alternative proposals regarding the Wild Olympics Campaign and local Puget Sound Champion Awards that will be presented by the Puget Sound Partnership.

Strait ERN is one of the Puget Sound Partnership’s “local integrating organizations” that are working to implement an “action agenda” for Puget Sound protection and recovery.

Biennium talk

The group also will discuss 2011-2013 biennium funding opportunities for programs in the Strait action area, which encompasses much of Clallam and Jefferson counties, extending from Cape Flattery near Neah Bay east to Point Wilson in Port Townsend.

Membership includes all tribes and local jurisdictions and most nongovernmental organizations, educational institutions and key business groups with an interest in the Strait of Juan de Fuca action area.

Information on the Puget Sound Partnership and the 2012 update of the action agenda can be found at www.psp.wa.gov.
