Bridget Trosin, Marine Spatial Planning Specialist
Bridget Trosin of Washington Sea Grant is working with communities and organizations on the coast of Washington to provide information about the State’s initiative on marine spatial planning. They, along with The Nature Conservancy, are reaching out to the local community to hear their input, concerns, suggestions and advice on this topic.
Marine spatial planning is a process for coordinating decisions for coastal and ocean activities and uses into a comprehensive plan. The Washington state law outlines some basic principles and requirements to guide a marine spatial plan, which will be the building blocks for setting goals and objectives of the planning process for Washington’s coast. This includes requirements such as honoring tribal treaty rights and existing uses. The law also specifically requires marine spatial plans to address the siting of marine renewable energy.

Feb20ONP Wilderness Stewardship Plan Public Workshop @ Department of Natural Resources Conference RoomWednesday: 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Olympic National Park Launches Planning Process for Existing Park Wilderness;
Public Input Invited, Eight Public Workshops Scheduled
Olympic National Park invites the public to participate in developing a Wilderness Stewardship Plan to help protect and manage the designated wilderness lands within the park.
“The Olympic Wilderness was designated by Congress in 1988 and has become one of the most popular wilderness destinations in the country,” said Olympic National Park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum. “We are excited to be moving ahead with a comprehensive plan for how we protect and manage this area and are looking forward to hearing thoughts and ideas from our public.”
The plan will be developed in accordance with the Wilderness Act of 1964 and analyzed through an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. In the coming weeks, a Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS will be published in the Federal Register. The public comment period begins today and will continue for 60 days after the Federal Register notice is published.
“One of the first steps in any planning process is to learn what the public’s thoughts, questions and concerns are,” said Creachbaum. “We welcome online and written comments and have also scheduled eight public workshops for people to share their thoughts and learn more about the plan.”
More information about the Olympic Wilderness Stewardship Plan and planning process, including a public scoping newsletter, is available online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/olymwild. Comments may also be submitted at that website.
Public workshops will be offered around the Olympic Peninsula and are scheduled as follows.
