• Inclusion of Canadian representation in the Management Conference.

• Planning for the 2013-14 state legislative session.

• 2013 State of the Sound report.

• Action Agenda planning.

The agenda also includes several presentations related to the Puget Sound Action Agenda strategic initiatives: recovering shellfish beds, protecting and restoring habitat, and preventing pollution from stormwater.
