Seeding clams in the lagoon

Bruce Klock, who built our house, has sold the surrounding tidelands (which he kept when he sold the house) to the Suquamish Tribe.  Representatives from their fisheries department were out in the lagoon earlier this week, laying down nets and seeding the lagoon with clams.

The nets are designed to protect the clams from predators and humans over the next three years while they grow to adulthood. Tribal reps also told us that if we see people fishing on the sound side at night, especially with scuba gear, they're poaching and we should call 911 and report it.
