The creation of the Puget Sound 

Partnership (PSP) allowed for a group of 

private and public entities, local 

citizens, tribes and businesses to begin 

to collectively work toward restoring the 

ecological health of the Puget Sound. 

With the PSP’s inception, the Puget 

Sound ecosystem has become a national 

example of ecosystem-based 

management (EBM) implementation. 

The Partnership Action Agenda 

indentified 80 near-term actions that are 

required for ecosystem recovery. These 

actions, however, will require specific 

performance measures. 

Ecosystems can contain numerous 

species, and a mean level of species 

placement within a predator/prey chain 

or food web can serve as an ecological 

indicator. Similarly, measures of 

relative biodiversity may provide 

indications of ecological health and 

therefore function as ecological 

indicators. Such indicators can facilitate 

EBMt, when target levels for indicators 

exist. Because targets are an expression 

of the desired state of the ecosystem, 

establishing targets must include both 

ecological understanding and societal 

values. This project will develop a 

unique approach for identifying 

scientifically rigorous ecosystem targets 

that explicitly considers social 

perspectives. For this reason, the 

Northwest Fisheries Science Center 

seeks to conduct social norm analyses 

which involve a survey of Puget Sound 

community stakeholders. Stakeholders 

will be asked, via telephone survey, a 

series of general questions regarding 

their views on the Puget Sound 

environment and the desirability of a 

range of potential ecosystem conditions 

for the Puget Sound. 

A random digit dial phone survey will 

be conducted. The survey will be 

voluntary, and contacted individuals 

may decline to participate. Respondents 

will be asked to respond to statements 

regarding their perceptions of the health 

of the Puget Sound. Demographic and 

employment information will be 

collected so that responses can be
