| Description |
In 1987, the Washington state Department of Ecology investigated recurrent coho salmon kills at Maritime Heritage Fish Hatchery. Hatchery water is drawn from the mouth of Whatcom Creek, which drains Lake Whatcom and downtown Bellingham. Mortality occurs after the first or second rain event of the wet season and thus may be linked to the “first flush” of pollutants into the creek. |
