Hello --- I am semi-retired from a life as a biologist, fisherman, teacher, and environmentalist. I live on a Land Trust Farm in Northwestern Washington State, and have worked for Indian Tribes in Washington and Alaska for the past 15 years. My concerns are generally for watershed issues, and I recently attended the National Watershed Forum, which was an effective public consultation process in action. I hope the report(s) that come from that meeting will contain the many good recommendations that came from people from around the country.
What I hope to achieve from participating in this exercise is to advance the capabilities of everyone to work together with the Tribes which wish to have cooperation in environmental issues, and to ask EPA to make interagency partnerships (such as the ones called for in the "Unified Federal Policy" on watershed protection and management) hit the ground with local watershed partnerships.
