Description In 2017, Washington State Department of Health (DOH) recorded high bacteria levels at a few marine stations in the South Skagit Bay area. High bacteria levels in a northern portion of Skagit Bay and in Port Susan to the south of the bay prompted DOH to close shellfish beds in those areas. DOH classified shellfish beds within South Skagit Bay itself as “threatened.” The goal of this monitoring effort is to prevent shellfish bed closures by guiding efforts to find and fix pollution sources.
