  • An Early Warning Program for Harmful Algal Blooms in Puget Sound

    An Early Warning Program for Harmful Algal Blooms in Puget Sound

    An Early Warning Program for Harmful Algal Blooms in Puget Sound Harmful Algae Puget Sound is one of the most naturally beautiful and ecologically diverse locations in the Pacific Northwest. However, these waters are home to several species of algae that can produce deadly toxins when water conditions encourage their populations to explode. During these harmful algal blooms (HABs), the algae and their toxins accumulate in shellfish, and are also transferred up the food chain to marine and terrestrial animals. High concentrations of some algal species can sicken or kill marine birds, mammals or humans and can cause fish to die in large numbers. The SoundToxins program We formed SoundToxins—the Partnership for Enhanced Monitoring and Emergency Response to HABs in Puget Sound—to combat the apparent increase in these HAB occurrences over the past decade. SoundToxins is a diverse partnership of shellfish farmers, fish farmers, environmental learning centers, volunteers, local health jurisdictions, colleges, and Native American tribes that was conceived and initiated by Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), and is now co- directed by Washington Sea Grant (WSG). SoundToxins has grown from four partners in 2006 to over 28 partners in 2017, some of whom monitor multiple sites in Puget Sound. SoundToxins has three main objectives: • To document unusual bloom events and new species entering Puget Sound. • To determine the environmental conditions that promote the onset and flourishing of HABs. • To determine the combination of monitoring parameters that provide the earliest warnings of these events. Monitoring Puget Sound Pseudo-nitzschia SoundToxins samples phytoplankton, These algae are pennate diatoms that can produce a or single-celled algae, throughout toxin called domoic acid.

    P:\0E01401 Nisqually\Document\Revised

    Nisqually NWR Final CCP/EIS Chapter 3. Affected Environment This chapter describes the environment that may be affected by land acquisition and management activities of Nisqually NWR. The affected environment includes important portions of the Nisqually delta and lower reaches of the Nisqually River watershed. For this document, the affected environment includes the CCP Study Area, which includes the lands within the currently approved Refuge boundary (3,936 acres) and the potential Refuge expansion areas (5,390 acres). The study area (Figure 1.1-2) includes four distinct areas: McAllister Springs and Creek area, Nisqually River corridor, Nisqually agricultural lands and floodplain, and East Bluff. The McAllister Springs and Creek area, Nisqually River corridor, and Nisqually agricultural lands and floodplain are located south of the current Refuge and are bordered on the north by I-5, on the east and west by bluffs, and on the south by a combination of railroad tracks, bluffs, and property boundaries of residential housing developments. The East Bluff area is east of the Refuge and is bordered on the north by Sequalitchew Creek, on the west by Puget Sound, on the south by I-5, and the eastern boundary follows property lines, including most of the forested habitat west of Fort Lewis. 3.1 Physical Environment Elements of the physical environment considered include climate, hydrology, geology, soils, and contaminants. 3.1.1 Climate Maritime air masses have a moderating effect in south Puget Sound year round, creating a modified Mediterranean climate. Air quality is generally high due to climate, location, and few industries that produce particulates.

    Puget Sound Destinations

    Nisqually River Water Trail DRAFT 2017 Nisqually Delta & Nearby Puget Sound Destinations Description: This portion of the Nisqually River Water Trail features the mouth of the river as it spills into Puget Sound. Paddlers can explore the sights of the Billy Frank Jr. Wildlife Refuge; paddle beside restored marsh habitat on McAllister Creek; experience scenic island parks with hiking and picnicing at either Jacob’s Point or Andy’s Marine Park on Anderson Island; and enjoy fishing, forests, and firepits on the beach of Tolmie State Park. Wildlife such as eagles, salmon, coyotes and playful seals can be spotted at these destinations! On a clear day, paddlers are treated to breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier. It is recommended to put in your watercraft at Luhr Launch, which is accessible for vehicles, offers a restroom and parking, and is adjacent to the Nisqually Reach Nature Center. Mudflats and pilings are very common around the mouth of the Nisqually. Proceed with caution: getting stuck in the mudflats can be treacherous and potentially fatal. A watercraft suited for ocean water is highly recommended. The Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is a pristine and important habitat for wildlife, and also offers opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, environmental education, hunting and fishing. Boaters can enjoy the refuge from their watercraft; there is no boat access. Some areas are considered sanctuary spaces for wildlife and have restricted access. Be sure to read all signage when paddling near the refuge. To learn more about available opportunities, visit: https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Billy_Frank_Jr_Nisqually.
