Who is the Drayton Harbor Shellfish Protection Advisory Committee?

You, too, can do your part to help protect and improve the quality of the waters of the state by becoming better informed on how your activities impact water quality and what you can do to limit pollution in your neighborhood and watershed. What goes on the ground anywhere in the watershed can end up in a waterway, either surface or groundwater, and eventually impact the shellfish beds in the harbor.
