  • Welcome to the Current!
    Welcome to the Current! Well, here comes Fall! Summer is slowing down and the cooler air is coming in. Leaves are starting to change here and there....and the rain is back. Make sure you come and check out the Park during this cool, sometimes wet season - it is a great place to visit rain or shine! This month in the Current learn about the bridge painting project happening now, a recap of our summer programs and some more history of the Park! Across the bridge by Elle Tracy Photo by Cindy Elliser Beginning in August, 2019, the Washington State Department of Transportation began a two-year project to restore and repaint the Deception Pass bridge – the only link for Whidbey Island residents on an off the island, unless, of course, you have a jet at your disposal. The existing paint work was completed more than 20 years ago, and with salt, wind and wear, the corrosion repair and paint work is necessary to support the resident and tourist traffic, estimated to be about 20,000 vehicles daily. Then there’s the foot traffic…. The temporary metal poles you see rising from the exterior barriers, support containment tarps under the bridge that prevent repair debris from dropping into the water. Containment tarps, photo by Cindy Elliser The project will shut down in the late fall for the winter, to begin again in the spring of 2020. Completion of the work is scheduled for fall of 2020. During work periods, you’ll hear unusual noise during the day, and quieter work noise overnight, when the bridge span is reduced to one lane of traffic.

  • USFWS Outreach/Education FY2005 Protected Salmonid Survey/Angler Outreach Project Progress Report
    USFWS Outreach/Education FY2005 Protected Salmonid Survey/Angler Outreach Project Progress Report Cooperative Agreement # 134104 Report Date: March 24, 2008 Reporting Period: November 1, 2005–December 5, 2007 Project Rationale and Objectives In recent years, Wild Fish Conservancy has received reports from recreational anglers of observed violations of no-harvest rules for trout, salmon and char in the marine waters of Washington State. Such illegal take may be significantly compromising conservation efforts, and may stem in part from confusion about the geographic range of the fishery regulations or from misidentification of protected species as harvestable salmonids. To assist in the protection of the anadromous life-history forms of these fishes, this cooperative project has developed educational signage that alerts the public about state and federal harvest restrictions on at-risk salmonids and illustrates diagnostic features to facilitate species identification in the field. The signs, installed throughout coastal Washington State, target Washington’s recreational nearshore anglers. To assess recreational fishing pressure on selected species, the project has implemented a 12-month harvest survey. The objective of the survey is to collect quantitative and qualitative information volunteered by anglers, which Wild Fish Conservancy will analyze and provide to USFWS and WDFW as feedback to assist with refinement of biologically based fishing regulations that are accessible and understandable by the public. Methods The regulatory signage utilized in this project focuses on anadromous bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) and sea-run coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) and were developed by the USFWS’s Western Washington Fish and Wildlife Office (Fig. 1). At all posting sites, the regulatory sign was accompanied by an advertisement (Fig.

This project has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The contents of this document do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Environmental Protection Agency, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. Bull Kelp Monitoring 2015-16 2 Bull Kelp Monitoring 2015-16 I. Introduction Kelp forests represent significant habitat for a wide variety of invertebrate and vertebrate animals, and may also influence other submerged aquatic vegetation (Mann 2000; Graham et al 2007). In addition to providing structural habitat, primary productivities of kelp forests match or exceed those of tropical rain forests, marine reefs and estuaries, and warm temperate forests (Mann 1972a; Mann 1972b). In Washington State, two species of kelp are dominant: giant kelp (Macrocystis integrifolia) and bull kelp (Nereocystis leutkeana). While both species occur along Washington's outer coast and coastal Strait of Juan de Fuca, bull kelp is the species found along shorelines of the inner Salish Sea (Mumford 2007).
