About me
The Jefferson County Marine Resource Committee is an advisory group to the Jeffco Commissioners. In addition it's members undertake projects, with financial support from the Northwest Straits Commission to maintain and improve the Jeffco marine ecology. The No Anchor Zones is one of our persistent projects, started in 2004. We have installed buoys, that ask boaters to moor outside nearshore areas, to protect Subaquatic Vegetation and shellfish beds in 3 areas in Jefferson County. I am a Kiwi and have lived in Port Townsend for 35 years, employed as a marine farmer. This is a beautiful area but I worry about the future of our environment. The MRC and the projects we undertake are a small measure to make a positive difference.
