The recent partnership of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, Clallam County Environmental Health (CCEH) and Clallam Conservation District has led to cleaner waters in the Dungeness watershed.
Staff from the tribe and CCEH sample water monthly and collect water temperature data year-round from nearly two dozen sites along Matriotti and Lotzgesell creeks, major tributaries to the Dungeness River, which drains into Dungeness Bay. The bay has a long history of fecal coliform pollution.
