This new issue of?"Making Waves"?highlights stories about the importance of building and maintaining partnerships to make progress on key issues related to Puget Sound recovery. Partnerships are built with trust and communication and maintained over time through open collaboration and mutual respect. Events like Puget Sound Day on the Sound this past fall and the?upcoming Puget Sound Day on the Hill [ [link removed] ]?can help build these types of partnerships. The stories in this new issue of?"Making Waves" show how collaborative work helps drive recovery efforts.
