| Description | Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) scientists collect largemouth and smallmouth bass every year from six water bodies to analyze for the presence of mercury. We return to each set of water bodies every five years to see how mercury levels have changed over time. This information also provides the Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH) with data for fish consumption advisories. In fall 2024, we will be collecting fish from: • Banks Lake (Grant County) • Failor Lake (Grays Harbor County) • Kitsap Lake (Kitsap County) • Pierre Lake (Stevens County) • Snake River (Asotin County) • Lake Whatcom (Whatcom County) This will be our fourth year of testing these water bodies for mercury. |
