Sorry, I couldn’t resist the seasonal reference. Now on to the news …
The Seattle PostGlobe offers this story on
the woes of Hood Canal, as reported by Martha Baskin of
Green Acre Radio. And here’s a link to some work that Ecology has done related to
Hood Canal issues.
Also, the Peninsula Daily News notes that a
Nov. 5 conference in Port Townsend will focus on Hood Canal’s environmental and economic health.

Speaking of the North Sound, here’s an Ecology news release about a spill this week at the ConocoPhillips refinery near Ferndale. Fortunately, it appears that none of the diesel fuel reached the Sound. The news release contains a link to more details about the incident.
The Peninsula Daily News updates on Ecology’s work on a contamination study for Port Angeles Harbor. And here’s more about our work in the Port Angeles area as part of the Puget Sound Initiative.
