There's open-access. Then there's open access—or more emphatically, Open Access. Other versions include Open Knowledge, Open Science and Open Content. Sometimes you'll see several of these variations on a single web page. The Obama administration, for its part, went with "public access" a couple of weeks ago when it called for free access to research using federal funds.

The Encyclopedia of Puget Sound species library now includes a list of species of concern in the Salish Sea watershed. The list was created by Joe Gaydos and Nicholas Brown of the SeaDoc Society, and was released as a paper presented as part of the Proceedings of the 2011 Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference in Vancouver, B.C.

Scientists and policymakers often refer generally to the "Puget Sound ecosystem." Hundreds of millions of dollars go toward its protection. Scientists and sociologists study it, and there is an assumption that we know what it is.

Funds will be available for research projects from social science investigators at academic and research institutes, government agencies and other professional consultancies to conduct research on Puget Sound ecosystem service values. As much as $200,000 will be available to support up to three 18-month projects selected through an open, competitive, peer-reviewed process. Interdisciplinary partnerships are encouraged.

Satellite tagging has become an important tool for tracking Puget Sound's Southern Resident Killer Whale populations. You can view maps that follow the whales' movements this winter. NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center placed a tag on an adult male dubbed K25, in Puget Sound last Dec. 29th and scientists have been excitedly following the whale to California and back again.
