Presentation Abstract
Of all the threats facing the southern residents, reducing noise and disturbance is one area where we have made tangible progress around the Salish Sea. Public processes have led to new programs and policies - successes we can build on, and learn from. This panel will provide a transboundary perspective on programs that been implemented to manage and monitor vessel impacts by sector (i.e., large ships, small vessels), and identify high priority gaps or needs. For each program, panelists will discuss: 1.) What are the successes, so far? What are the challenges, and where are the gaps? 2.) How does your program measure its effectiveness? How will it adapt to new science and and emerging threats? 3.) What is the biggest gap or area of need for transboundary alignment and how would you propose to address it?

Transboundary Programs to Quiet the Seas: Successes, Challenges, and the Road Ahead
Of all the threats facing the southern residents, reducing noise and disturbance is one area where we have made tangible progress around the Salish Sea. Public processes have led to new programs and policies - successes we can build on, and learn from. This panel will provide a transboundary perspective on programs that been implemented to manage and monitor vessel impacts by sector (i.e., large ships, small vessels), and identify high priority gaps or needs. For each program, panelists will discuss: 1.) What are the successes, so far? What are the challenges, and where are the gaps? 2.) How does your program measure its effectiveness? How will it adapt to new science and and emerging threats? 3.) What is the biggest gap or area of need for transboundary alignment and how would you propose to address it?
