A transcript detailing why the Thurston County Superior Court denied the petition from Taylor Shellfish and Arcadia Point Seafood is found here: http://www.caseinlet.org/uploads/taylor_10-21-11.pdf
In clear logic it affirms Thurston County's decision to require a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the proposed Thiesen/McClure/Lockhart geoduck farms based on the fact that the PVC tubes and netting are a structure, therefor a development.
The task of ensuring Puget Sound's most critical habitat - the intertidal tideland area - will be regulated as the Shoreline Management Act intended has taken a great step forward.
