Yeah, sadly no return trip for Emerald either. Got eaten in the same zone - off Fort Flagler. A watery version of the Hunger Games-
Just drove across the Hood Canal bridge, saw lots of diving birds, and one seal, feeding just on the south side of the bridge Hard not to think of all the smolt tracks trapped on the south side of the bridge and not know exactly what is happening there.
Also reminds me of some data I heard this past winter. My numbers and exactly where might be slightly off, but I was told that when the transient orca are around the central sound, roughly 30% more south sound fish make it through the central sound because the seals are kept close to shore.

I think they just got one in so far. They need four, and it may help, but it won’t fix the overall issue of the bridge acting as a partial barrier and causing delay in migration (and predator concentration). Also, they probably did a crappy expensive job since they didn’t give the contract to me and @Long_Rod_Silvers
$2M triangle to help migratory fish (and 3 more needed)
https://www.pugetsoundinstitute.org/2022/09/add-on-structure-will-begin-to-address-steelhead-crisis-at-the-hood-canal-bridge/ I hope this works! It seems crazy that it costs $2 million to manufacture a single non-structural 60' x 60' x 85' x 21.5' triangle to slap on an inside float corner...

I still thing we should put in a bid on the other 3. You still got your dewalt?I think they just got one in so far.

Yup, along with the plug in electric cheap sawzall from Harbor Freight, the one that has the thumb lock for “locked on” right where it always gets bumped when that’s the last thing you want to happen. As long as the old cans of PVC primer and glue haven’t rusted shut I think we’re in business.
