  • 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.

  • Surf Smelt Fact Sheet
    WASHINGTON STATE SURF SMELT FACT SHEET NAME: Surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus (Girard 1855). GEOGRAPHIC RANGE: Long Beach, California to Chignik Lagoon, Alaska. The Asian subspecies, Hypomesus pretiosus japonicas, occurs in the northwest Pacific Ocean. RELATED SPECIES: Several members of the smelt family, Osmeridae, occur in Washington waters, including eulachon (Columbia River smelt, hooligan) Thaleichthys pacificus, longfin smelt Spirinchus thaleichthys, whitebait smelt Allosmerus elongatus, and night smelt Spirinchus starksi. Unlike the other species, both eulachon and longfin smelt are anadromous, migrating into streams in the winter to spawn. Note: Columbia River smelt (eulachon) are listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and recreational fishing for this species in Washington waters is limited to years in which the run size is exceptionally large. Be sure to check the recreational fishing regulations (http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/) before attempting to fish for any smelt species. RECOGNITION: Characteristic dark stripe down the middle of the side of the body. Also notable for small mouth with maxillary (upper jaw bone) that does not extend past the midpoint of the pupil of the eye; dorsal fin begins in front of the pelvic fin; pelvic fins short; and small, curved adipose fin. Length up to eight inches. LOCAL DISTRIBUTION: Surf smelt occur abundantly throughout the nearshore marine waters of Washington, from the Columbia River to the Canadian border and into southernmost Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Genetic research suggests that, despite this broad distribution, surf smelt throughout Puget Sound represent a single stock. SPAWN TIMING: Surf smelt populations can generally be divided into summer spawners and fall/winter spawners, though year- round spawning has been documented in the Whidbey Basin, Port Susan, portions of the San Juan Islands, and central Puget Sound (Eagle Harbor and Sinclair Inlet).
