Every positive action makes a difference – whether taken by residents, communities, tribes, non-profits, or agencies and universities. In 2012, the Puget Sound Partnership’s Leadership Council established three initiatives to tackle multiple issues critical to Puget Sound recovery – Stormwater, Habitat, and Shellfish. To manage this effort, agency and institutional partners assembled into three Strategic Initiative (SI) Lead teams, charged with bringing people and ideas together to improve the water, habitat, and communities.
