UW To Map Puget Sound's Bedlands - Should also Map Intertidal Area

KCTS9 has written about and created a video of how the University of Washington has begun to map the bedlands (subtidal area) of Puget Sound, something which has not been done to any great extent. If the University of Washington is going to promote expansion of shellfish aquaculture throughout Puget Sound's intertidal areas they should prioritize that project. How can anyone plan if they don't know how many acres of what shoreline types there are?


 
Get involved and tell your elected officials that it's time to compile intertidal information of Puget Sound before any expansion of industrial shellfish aquaculture occurs.
