Ensure continued water quality monitoring. The Pacific Shellfish Institute has established a water chemistry monitoring program at the Lummi Bay Shellfish Hatchery. Monitoring equipment is located at one site in the Seapond Aquaculture Facility and one site within the hatchery. This equipment operates continuously and makes real-time data available to hatchery staff. Although there has been no detectable change in pH or temperate in waters tested in the Seapond facility that could be attributed to anthropogenic climate change or that were outside of the range of natural variability over the period of record (2011-present), continued monitoring is necessary to further refine the range of current conditions and ensure early detection of potential future problems. Additionally, the Lummi Water Resources Division (LWRD) implements an ambient water quality monitoring program that samples fresh and marine waters on the Reservation. Continued monitoring and additional monitoring of nutrients will enhance our understanding of local water quality status and trends.
