We achieve our recovery goal of vibrant quality of life by enhancing opportunities for stress reduction and motivation from natural environments for diverse human communities; acknowledging, respecting, and recognizing that attachments among all residents to Puget Sound’s environments (including natural, biocultural, and anthropogenic places) are opportunities to achieve the goals of the Action Agenda. The indicator of success is improving the rating of the Sense of Place Index, the Psychological Wellbeing Index, and the overall life satisfaction of Puget Sound residents across demographics and diverse communities.
The Sense of Place Index measures the percent of residents who express a positive connection, a strong sense of stewardship, and a sense of pride about being from Puget Sound. This indicator will inform us about peoples’ emotional connection to Puget Sound.
