  • San Juan Islands Salmonid Limiting Factors & Recommended Actions
    San Juan Islands Salmonid Limiting Factors & Recommended Actions - Eight Basin report Cascade Creek December 2017, Byron Rot Byron Rot San Juan County Public Works – Environmental Resources [email protected] June 27, 2019 Technical Team/Co-authors Russel Barsh – KWIAHT Michael Boyd – Western Washington University Spatial Institute Jenny De Groot – Speckled Trout Consulting Kyle Dodd – San Juan County Health and Human Services Jamie Glasgow – Wild Fish Conservancy Judy Meyer – San Juan County Salmon Technical Advisory Group Mike Ramsey – San Juan Islands Conservation District Marcus Reaves – Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Kimbal Sundberg - San Juan County Salmon Technical Advisory Group Tyson Waldo - Western Washington University Spatial Institute 2 Foreword There is a misconception in the San Juan Islands that our watersheds do not contain salmonids. San Juan Islands streams do contain salmonid fish; mainly cutthroat (resident and presumably anadromous), and in a few watersheds coho and chum (Barsh 2010, Glasgow et al. 2016, DeGroot 2018). There are many accounts of old- timers fishing in our creeks. However, past settlement and agriculture using older ideas for managing water have resulted in the degradation of our natural stream systems, especially with diversions, channelization, and the building of in-channel ponds. Watersheds that used to flow mostly perennially are now seasonal; watersheds that historically had salmonids may no longer contain native fish. In addition, we are in the midst of a human-caused warming climate. For freshwater ecosystems in the Puget Sound region, we will see increased fall-winter flows and decreased summer flows (CIG 2015), making salmonid recovery more difficult in our small watersheds.

  • Natural Hazards on Whidbey Island
    Natural Hazards on Whidbey Island Protect and prepare your family and your home — a guide for surviving disasters caused by earthquakes, landslides, wildland fires, tsunamis, and windstorms Island County, Washington Department of Emergency Management Digital elevation map of Island County (Jessica Larson) ii Dealing with Natural Hazards on Whidbey Island This is a guide to the natural hazards that could affect you, your family, and your property. It offers a brief description of the ways you can prepare your home and family to survive disasters caused by earthquakes, landslides, wildland fires, tsunamis, and windstorms. Power outages caused by windstorms during the winter of 2006-2007 — as well as numerous other events in prior and more recent years — have made most residents of Whidbey Island amply aware of the difficulties of being without light, heat, water, and the ability to prepare meals or use health-related equipment. Although most of us have experienced being without power for less than a week, we have still been able to travel to a grocery, a hospital, or the mainland. Friends across the island could help each other. But what if there were a major natural disaster that cut off the island from the mainland and we were entirely on our own for two or three weeks? A truly large storm or an earthquake could destroy or damage docks at the Clinton and Coupeville ferries systems and seriously compromise footings of the Deception Pass bridge, disrupting delivery of food, water, fuel, emergency services, and many other vitally necessary elements of our Island life. These realities are even more evident recently as we have had record rains, experienced more landslides, and observed the damage suffered by the islands of New Zealand and Japan.

  • THE SAN JUAN SHEEP WAR British and American Interests Butted Heads in This Precursor to the Pig War by Michael Vouri
    WashingtonHistory.org THE SAN JUAN SHEEP WAR British and American Interests Butted Heads in this Precursor to the Pig War By Michael Vouri COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Winter 2000-01: Vol. 14, No. 4 San Juan is a fertile and beautiful island, with a large extent of open prairie land; but were it barren and rocky, and intrinsically worthless, it is of the utmost value to Great Britain, commanding as it does the channel of communications between Vancouver Island and British Columbia… in my opinion, it matters not if all the other islands between San Juan and the Continent pass to the United States, but San Juan is invaluable to our possession; it clearly is ours, both in right and in equity, and to yield it to the United States would be to depreciate our contiguous territory to an extent that someday might prove fatal to Her Majesty's possessions in this quarter of the globe. Block Quote —James Prevost (July 23, 1859) If there was anything James Douglas hated more than low-grade beaver pelts, rot-gut whisky and whining British colonists, it was American settlers. They were the spawn from hell, with their wagons full of quilts, stoves, plows and spinning wheels, and their dirty children who were certain to beget more Americans. They had driven his beloved Hudson's Bay Company from its Columbia River empire, and if he was not vigilant they would do it again above the 49th parallel. That was the boundary line Great Britain and the United States agreed upon with the Treaty of Oregon on June 15, 1846; along the 49th parallel from the Rocky Mountains to the middle of the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver Island; and thence southerly through the middle of the said channel, and of Fuca's Straits to the Pacific Ocean; provided however, that the navigation of the whole of said channel and Straits south of the forty- ninth parallel of north latitude remain free and open to both parties.
