If more specific information is needed users need to consult with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist. 20 feet The Marine Resources data, for the most part, have not been updated since the publication of the 1992 Technical Report No. 79. The exception to this is the foreage fish layers, which consist of herring spawning/holding areas, surf smelt, sand lance and rock sole spawning. They continue to be updated as surveys are conducted. Generally information in this database is highly variable regarding source some of it is based on field surveys while others are based on "best professional judgment" of the biologist involved. The information has been generalized for the release to the general public. If more specific information is needed users need to contact the biologist directly. The coverage was created by digitizing lines drawn by agency expert biologists on 1:250 plots of the USGS 1:100k Digital Line Graph coastline. The lines can be digitized to 1/100th inch accuracy (208 feet), but the lines themselves are accurate from 0 to perhaps as much as half an inch (2 miles) in open areas. 208 Accuracy of digitzation process of biologists' markings. Vertical accuarcy has yet to be determined. Washington Department of Natural Resources 1992 Unknown 250000 chart The Washington Department of Natural Resources had digitized polygons from the first edition of Tech Report 79. Those coverages were then subitted to WDFW. These were plotted against the USGS 1:100k Digital Line Graph coastlines and sent to agency biologists for revision. Washington State Department of Fisheries, Habitat Management Division 1992 Prepartion of this report was partially funded by the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Region of the Minerals Management Service, US Department of the Interior, Washington DC, under the Contract No. 88-048 with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Polygons for Northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) areas, by Township, in Washington's marine waters were developed in a variety of ways. Northern abalone are known to occur on the Washington coast north of Portage Head and throughout the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the San Juan Islands. Only presence/absence data exists for certain locations and there are no data for the Washington coast south of Portage Head. The fishery is strictly recreational and located primarily in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the San Juan Islands. Abalone are also harvested by recreational divers at various locations along the coast. This layer continues to be updated as surveys are conducted. Polygons for the Hardshelled Inter-tidal Clams in Washington's marine waters were developed in a variety of ways. Surveys have been conducted to map subtidal locations of commercial quantities of several clam species. Technical Reports Nos. 13 and 14 (Goodwin 1973 a,b) describe the techniques and initial results of the diver surveys for subtidal geoduck and hardshell clam beds. Subsequent subtidal clam surveys have been oriented to locating beds that could be commercially harvested. They are, therefore, limited to subtidal areas >18-20m. Survey effort has been concentrated in locations where there are known clam beds and some areas have not been surveyed. No attempt has been made in this publication to differentiate between areas which have not been surveyed and those in which clams were not found in commercial quantities. This layer continues to be updated as surveys are conducted. Polygons for the Dungeness and Red Rock crab populations in Washington's marine waters were developed in a variety of ways. Dungeness and red rock crab populations occur along the Washington coast and in Puget Sound with occasional populations also associated with estuaries along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. They are found both nearshore and off the coast at depths in excess of 100m, depending on age and season. This layer continues to be updated as surveys are conducted. Polygons for the Subtidal Geoduck clams in Washington's inside marine waters were developed in a variety of ways. Surveys have been conducted to map subtidal locations of commercial quantities of several clam species. Technical Reports Nos. 13 and 14 (Goodwin 1973 a,b) describe the techniques and initial results of the diver surveys for subtidal geoduck and hardshell clam beds.

Survey effort has been concentrated in locations where there are known clam beds and some areas have not been surveyed. No attempt has been made in this publication to differentiate between areas which have not been surveyed and those in which clams were not found in commercial quantities. Polygons for Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) areas in Washington's marine waters were developed in a variety of ways. The Pacific oyster is a Japanese species introduced into Washington State in the 1920s. Large populations of naturally produced and/or cultured Pacific oysters now exist in the protected waters of Willapa Bay, Grays Harbor, Hood Canal and south Puget Sound. Natural spawning is limited to only a few areas in Washington State, ex. Dabob and Quilcene Bays in Hood Canal and the southern end of Willapa Bay, because the Pacific oyster requires water temperatures above 18.1 C (65 F) to initiate spawning. Pacific oysters are also in the coastal estuaries of Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay. This layer does not cover the coastal estuaries, because it was originally produced to fulfill the requirements of the Puget Sound Environmental Atlas, published by the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Arcs for Razor clam populations on Washington's coast were developed in a variety of ways. Technical Reports Nos. 13 and 14 (Goodwin 1973 a,b) describe the techniques and initial results. Survey effort has been concentrated intertidally in locations where there are known clam beds and some areas have not been surveyed. Surveys have been conducted to map intertidal locations of Razor clams. Two species of razor clam are found all along the Washington coast Siliqua patula is found both intertidally on open sandy beaches and subtidally while S. sloati is only found subtidally. Continuous populations occur from Long Beach to Kalaloch with scattered populations found in pocket sandy beaches along the north coast to Hobuck Beach in Mukkow Bay. Razor clams are found from a mid-intertidal zone to a depth of about 20 m. Populations are typically densest in the lower intertidal zone but may also be substantial in the subtidal (surf) zone. Polygons for Pandalid Shrimp areas in Washington's marine waters were developed in a variety of ways. Four species of Pandalid Shrimp, pink (Pandalus jordani and P.borealis), coonstripe (P.danae), and spot prawn (P. platyceros) are commonly harvested in Washington's waters. Pink shrimp are caught all along the Washington coast from the northern portion of the Long Beach peninsula to the Canadian border. Most catches occur at depths ranging from about 100-220 m in areas where the bottom material is comprised of mud, sand, or shale. Within the inland waters, a large recreational and small commercial fishery for spot prawns in Hood Canal. Commercial and recreational fisheries for spot prawns and coonstripe shrimp also occur in Port Angeles Harbor, Port Susan and the San Juan Islands. In the Discovery Bay - Protection Island area, fisheries occur for all species. This layer continues to be updated as surveys are conducted. Polygons for the Sea Urchins in Washington's inside marine waters were developed by Alex Bradbury, WDF. Red and green sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus and S. droebachiensis) occur in commercial quantities throughout the Strait of Juan de Fuca and San Juan Islands. They are also known to occur on Wahington's outer coast south at least to Portage Head (48°17.4'N). Presence/Absence data are generally lacking for the area south of Cape Flattery. Purple urchins also exist throughout the Strait of Juan de Fuca and may extend at least 125 km southward on the Washington coast. They are found from the low intertidal zone to depths of 100m (WDF Information Bulletin). This layer continues to be updated as surveys are conducted. 200312 Dale Gombert Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Data Manager mailing and physical address
