PORT ANGELES — The Strait of Juan de Fuca Ecosystem Recovery Network participants will hear speakers on the management needs and possible restoration opportunities for the city of Port Angeles and Elwha beach and bluff along the marine shoreline when they meet Friday.
The quarterly meeting will be from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Clallam County commissioners meeting room, Room 160 in the courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.
The public is encouraged to attend.
Also on the agenda is discussion of educational and funding issues and opportunities that would help implement a wide variety of priority actions within the Strait Action Area.
The Strait ERN is one of the Puget Sound Partnership’s Local Integrating Organizations working to implement the Action Agenda, the “leadership and coordinating document, meant to focus the region around a shared agenda” for Puget Sound protection and recovery.
The Strait ERN includes all of the tribes and local jurisdictions, and most of the non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, and key business groups with interest in the Strait of Juan de Fuca Action Area, said John Cambalik, coordinator,.
Geographically, the Strait Action Area encompasses much of Clallam and Jefferson counties extending from Cape Flattery near Neah Bay east to Point Wilson in Port Townsend on the North Olympic Peninsula.
