Work with the other Implementation Strategy Leads in other state agencies (for example, Shellfish and Habitat Strategies) to identify key implementation actions within their respective implementation strategies that could have the dual benefit of meeting their objectives and the objectives in the Marine Water Quality Implementation Strategy.
Run workgroups that provide a wide range of input to better inform the Puget Sound Investment Strategy with a focus on actions to improve marine water quality.
Develop future subaward grant solicitation opportunities that make progress toward Marine Water Quality Investment Plan priorities, particularly focused on nutrients and phosphorous issues that degrade marine dissolved oxygen.
