Snohomish Marine Resources Committee

Sea anemone photo by Jim Ramaglia Surface Water Management has provided staff support for the Council-appointed Marine Resources Advisory Committee (MRC) since its inception in 1999. The eleven volunteer citizen members represent a balance from local government, affected economic interests, affected recreational interests, and conservation and environmental interests. Their mission, guided by sound science and the needs of the marine ecosystem, is to address local marine issues, recommend remedial actions to local authorities, and build local awareness of the issues and support for remedies.

With funding from the Northwest Straits Commission, Snohomish County has implemented several projects recommended by the MRC, including surveys of marine shore conditions and forage fish spawning areas, outreach and education programs, and development of a Dungeness crab stewardship plan.
