Purpose of the McLane Cove Shellfish Protection District Background In May 2015 Washington State Department of Health downgraded 31 acres in the Pickering Passage Growing Area (McLane Cove) from Approved to Conditionally Approved. This classification change is in response to Marine Station 57 in McLane Cove failing the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) water quality standards for Approved classification. The Conditionally Approved classification means that harvest of shellfish is not allowed under certain conditions. For McLane Cove 0.75 inches of rainfall in 24 hours will trigger a 5 day closure. Rainfall data is collected at the Taylor FLUPSY in Oakland Bay. A Shellfish Protection District program is required to be put in place after a growing area classification is downgraded.

Estuarine Flow in the South Basin of Puget Sound and Its Effects on Near-Bottom Dissolved Oxygen
A D e p a r t m e n t o f E c o l o g y R e p o r t Estuarine Flow in the South Basin of Puget Sound and its Effects on Near-Bottom Dissolved Oxygen Abstract The south basin of Puget Sound is a complex and interconnected system of straits, open reaches, and fjord-like bays. South-basin waters exchange with main-basin Puget Sound waters over a sill (shallow area) and through the Tacoma Narrows. Within the south basin, tidally-averaged net estuarine (residual) circulation can be normal (seaward at the surface, landward at depth), inverse (seaward at depth, landward at the surface), or sideways (seaward on one shore, landward on the other). This is due to the interaction of the basin’s complex geometry with tidal forcing as well as processes such as seasonal variations in river flow, snowmelt, evaporation, and wind. Low near-bottom dissolved oxygen is observed in some years at the north end of Case Inlet. Estuarine flow patterns around Harstine Island in the finger inlets could partially explain this variability in dissolved oxygen. Current meters were deployed in Dana and Pickering Passages for several months to test this idea. Results indicate that the estuarine flow alternates between (1) patterns of circulation splitting around Harstine Island, and (2) a surface clockwise (counterclockwise at depth) pattern with flow mostly out through Pickering Passage. We conclude that the estuarine flow pattern is controlled by variations in the wind. By Albertson, S.L., J. Bos, G. Pelletier, and M. Roberts Publication No.

Oyster Varieties
OYSTER VARIETIES East Coast Barnstable (Crassostrea virginica) - Massachusetts Fished from the Jewel's Island area of the north shore of historic Cape Cod, MA, Barnstables are pearly white shelled treasures. Medium choice size, with full salty meats. Beau Soleil (Crassostrea virginica) – New Brunswick, Canada Grown on suspension lines in the chilly waters off the eastern reaches of New Brunswick, these cocktail oysters have surprisingly full shells and plump meats. Classic, briny flavor and a mellow melon-like finish. Beaver Tail (Crassostrea virginica) – Rhode Island Grown in trays suspended 20-40 feet below the surface on the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, the tasty Beaver Tail oyster is so named because if it’s broad flat shape (like a beaver’s tail). Flavor is briny, with hints of sweetness and a buttery, bold finish. Belon (Ostrea edulis) - Maine The famous oyster of Europe, named for the river in Western France where they originated, are finally being grown in Maine. Belons have a distinct appearance, with a round, flat shell which resembles a scallop. Their flavor is also unique, with a very coppery finish which transforms into a delicious nectar with a drop of lemon juice. Blackberry Point (Crassostrea virginica) – Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Canada Blackberry Points are raised in the waters of Northwestern Prince Edward Island. Beach grown with a smooth shell, filled with plump meats. Mildly sweet, with a medium-high salinity on the finish. Blue Point (Crassostrea virginica) - Virginia The name ‘Blue Point’ originally applied only to oysters grown at Blue Point, Long Island, New York.

Budd Inlet Scientific Study: an Overview of Findings
LOTT August 2000 Wastewater Resource Management Plan Budd Inlet Scientific Study: An Overview of Findings The LOTT Partners – Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Thurston County – have invested over $3 million in an 18-month long scientific study of Budd Inlet. The results helped show to what extent Budd Inlet could be relied upon for continued and/or expanded discharge of the community’s treated wastewater flows in the future. If environmentally acceptable, additional winter discharge could offer a comparatively low cost way to gain reserve capacity as LOTT moves toward new wastewater recycling options. The scientific study final report was published in August 1998, and findings are also summarized in LOTT’s Wastewater Resource Management Plan. Summary of Study Findings The Budd Inlet Scientific Study is designed to answer several questions What’s Inside? which are key to LOTT’s Wastewater Resource Management Plan. The following presents a capsule summary of some answers offered by the Budd Inlet’s “Bathtub Theory” is Down the Drain ....... page 2 study: • Initial modeling results confirm that increased winter LOTT discharge Beachcombers Contribute to Budd Inlet Study .......... page 2 won’t harm Budd Inlet.

This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Study Degree by Sarah R. Haque has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Amy Cook PhD Member of the Faculty ________________________ Paul Butler PhD Member of the Faculty ________________________ Joseph M. Jauquet, PhD, MES ________________________ Date Abstract Movement Patterns of Coastal Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in South Puget Sound, Washington 2006-2007. Sarah Haque Few studies have focused on the anadromous life-history form of coastal cutthroat. Migratory pathways of coastal cutthroat, especially short-distance estuarine migrations, are even less understood. Previous studies on coastal cutthroat trout primarily focused on freshwater systems and described spawning and rearing characteristics, population structures, and genetics of the freshwater life-history forms. This study collected baseline data on movements and nearshore habitat use of two sample populations (Totten-Little Skookum Inlets and Squaxin/Hope Island) of anadromous coastal cutthroat trout in South Puget Sound using acoustic tracking technology. A total of forty cutthroat were captured in their marine environment, surgically implanted with acoustic transmitters and tracked for eight months via a network of multi-channel acoustic receivers placed throughout the deep South Sound area of South Puget Sound. Analysis suggested a difference in movement patterns and distances traveled between sample populations; however, the overall trend for both sample groups was a movement towards the extreme terminal areas of the study area.

Chapter 5. Marine Shorelines - South Puget Sound
CHAPTER 5. MARINE SHORELINES - SOUTH PUGET SOUND Chapter 5 provides a discussion of the marine nearshore shorelines of South Puget Sound within Mason County, Washington. This section includes marine shorelines associated with Kennedy-Goldsborough Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 14a. This chapter covers Case Inlet, Pickering Passage, Peale Passage, Harstene Island, Hammersley Inlet, Oakland Bay, Totten Inlet and Little Skookum Inlet. Marine shorelines are considered “shorelines of statewide significance.” Marine shorelines are described generally from north to south and arranged in three groupings: 1) Case Inlet, 2) Hammersley Inlet and Oakland Bay, and 3) Totten Inlet and Little Skookum Inlet. After a summary description of the marine areas, the reaches have been described in two page reach sheets that provide a summary of data per shoreline reach. Information displayed in the reach sheets is largely GIS data taken from a combination of state and county data sources. Data sources are described in Chapter 2. Mason County Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Report - June 2011 Draft Page 5-1 Chapter 5 Marine Shorelines – South Puget Sound 5.1 Case Inlet, Pickering Passage and Peale Passage (including Harstene Island) Mason County Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Report - June 2011 Draft Page 5-2 Chapter 5 Marine Shorelines – South Puget Sound 5.1.1 Physical Characterization and Modifications Waves are the dominant driver of coastal geomorphic processes in the Case Inlet, Pickering Pass, and Peale Passage shoreline. This is exemplified by on or near shore (littoral) sediment transport occurring along most shores. Eroding bluff backed beaches supplies the nearshore with sediment that is then is transported down-drift to form the many varieties of depositional shoreforms found in the area.
