Transboundary Cooperation in the Salish Sea: 2021-2024 Action Plan of the US Environmental Protection Agency and Environment and Climate Change Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Transboundary Cooperation in the Salish Sea: This poster will profile the new 2021-2024 Action Plan, developed under a long-standing forum for federal transboundary cooperation in the Salish Sea: the Joint Statement of Cooperation on the Georgia Basin and Puget Sound Ecosystem (“Statement of Cooperation” or “SoC”) that was signed by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minister for Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in January 2000. The SoC outlines common goals for the health of the internationally-shared ecosystem and commits the two agencies to work collaboratively to achieve these goals. In a separate presentation, we review the history and work of this partnership. This poster presents the recently-signed 2021-2024 Action Plan, its six Priority Action Items (PAIs), outputs, and desired outcomes for the next several years. These PAIs are: 1) Support for the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference; 2) Maintain and further develop the transboundary Salish Sea ecosystem health indicators; 3) Support information sharing activities on environmental and impact assessment and notification processes for projects in the Salish Sea ecosystem; 4) Support Tribal-First Nation transboundary coordination and information sharing mechanisms; 5) Support State/Provincial and local transboundary coordination and information sharing mechanisms; and 6) Promote and foster coordination and information sharing activities on Salish Sea-related federal initiatives, identify opportunities where U.S. and Canadian federal interests and mechanisms may intersect. The Action Plan is developed and implemented by a Working Group maintained by ECCC and EPA that is currently advised by representatives from the Coast Salish Gathering, British Columbia Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, Washington State Department of Ecology, Puget Sound Partnership, the Northwest Straits Commission, and the Salish Sea Institute at Western Washington University.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
