Who was involved in the development of the 2020 NWPCAS?

The participating Ports led the development of the 2020 NWPCAS through extensive engagement with staff and decision makers at participating Ports, as well as substantive input from government partners, industry representatives, and representatives from non-profit organizations, and community members. The engagement process conducted by the U.S. Ports (NWSA, Port of Seattle, and Port of Tacoma) involved a select group of individuals and organizations to represent the different perspectives of impacted communities and industries. The U.S. Ports convened three workshops over the two-year process, conducted individual meetings, and accepted written comments during each round of engagement. The process also included joint sessions with participating government agencies, including in the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency, the Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency; and in Canada, Environment Canada, BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, and Metro Vancouver. A full list of the participants in the strategy development can be found in Appendix A of the 2020 NWPCAS.
