The Stillaguamish Watershed Council (SWC) has been dedicated to restoring and maintaining a healthy Stillaguamish River Watershed since 1990. The SWC provides a local forum in which agencies, organizations, communities, and the public can engage in a collaborative watershed based process of decision making and coordination. The SWC funds restoration projects throughout the watershed with an emphasis on Chinook Salmon habitat restoration as the Chinook is listed as threatened in the Endangered Species Act. This Slide Show highlights some of the work of the SWC.
The Stillaguamish Tribe is a Co-Lead Entity of the Stillaguamish Watershed Council implementing many restoration projects. Here are a few of the Tribe's projects. The Stillaguamish Tribe, in conjunction with the Family Forest Fish Passage Program, replaced a culvert that was blocking fish passage on Cherokee Creek with a new bridge. As a result approximately 1 mile of new habitat is now accessible to all species of Pacific salmon and trout. The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians sponsored a riparian restoration project on Jim Creek that involved stabilizing a bank with natural logs and slash, planting a buffer with native vegetation and installing fencing that keeps livestock out of the creek. As a result, the water in Jim Creek downstream will be clearer, cleaner, and more friendly for fish. The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians purchased and planted nearly 60 acres on the South Fork Stillaguamish, across from the mouth of Jim Creek. The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, in conjunction with Forterra, purchased and restored about 35 acres on the North Fork Stillaguamish. Dilapidated structures were demolished and removed, and a riparian buffer was planted with native vegetation. The Tribe has plans to install engineered log jams at this site in the future. Thie Blue Slough reconnection project reconnected a 2500 feet of remnant side channel that has been disconnected from the mainstem North Fork Stillaguamish since the 1930s. The final phase of construction installed new corrugated metal culverts to connect the slough to the river at both ends allowing continuous flow through the channel and providing winter and summer rearing for chinook juveniles. In addition, a log jam complex was installed near the upstream culvert to provide backwater refuge for smolts entering the side channel. The Stillaguamish Tribe has partnered with the Snohomish County Department of Corrections to establish a Riparian Enhancement Inmate Crew. Minimum security inmates participate in this program, helping with a variety of restoration projects throughout our watershed. They control dangerous invasive weeds and plant thousands of native plants each year.

These modernizations will improve the water quality for recharge and reuse, develop a state of the art water quality laboratory, incorporate solar and rainwater harvesting features, and will help to develop habitat and birding features. The Pima County/Tucson team will present the ongoing collaboration with the water research scientists at the University of Arizona, Pima Association of Governments, Tucson Audubon Society and other community organizations to proudly transform these RWRD treatment facilities into a water-centric focus area for the region, capitalizing on the natural beauty of the Santa Cruz River and the award winning area of the Tucson Sweetwater Wetlands.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
