Federal Agencies
The Salish Sea ecosystem is under the jurisdiction of two nation states, Canada and the USA. The federal governments of both the USA and Canada are divided into departments, agencies and administrations. In the USA, these workgroups have budgets developed within the agencies, but reviewed by the OMB, and proposed to various legislative branch committees. Through staff labor, the exercise of legal authority, and funding opportunities, these agencies influence ecosystem management in Puget Sound. The White House Council on Environmental Quality has defined the Puget Sound Federal Task Force as the forum where federal actions are coordinated to support Puget Sound recovery, and integrated with Tribal, State and Local government work.
