Hi Anna,
New Operations: NWS-2013-1147 (Tjemsland lease), NWS-2013-1223 (BDN), NWS-2013-1223 (Garten lease), NWS-
2013-1268 (Smersh)
We agreed with the methodology of MSA's surveys, but did not agree with their identification of native eelgrass(Zostera
marina)or their tidal locations of native eelgrass.We observed extensive native eelgrass within the areas proposed for
cultivation. We have requested new eelgrass surveys and a new application and biological assessment by August 30.We
recommended they withdraw their application if they are unable to meet that deadline. We also requested they
provide the revised applications to all state and local agencies.
We also sent a notice of violation for the Tjemsland Lease for harvest activities completed without permits. We alerted
them that further violations would be considered knowing and willful and subject to referral to the Dept. of Justice.
I am also preparing a notification of noncompliance for NWS-2012-1099 (previously Mocean Shellfish). We found they
had expanded their cultivation into areas not permitted. These areas also contained native eelgrass.
I am still reviewing the work on the previously WA Shellfish parcel (NWS-2012-1210). Work is obviously occurring in
native eelgrass, but I am considering whether than has been an expansion of the area in cultivation.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Squamish Harbor Aquaculture
Hello Pam,
I write in follow-up from the phone conference a couple of months ago,with my colleagues Carl Smith and Donna
Frostholm, regarding the Squamish Harbor aquaculture (Washington Shellfish/BDN and Mocean Shellfish/BDN). If we
remember correctly,you or your colleagues had planned to make a site visit in July to determine the boundary of the
eelgrass and the aquaculture farms. If this is correct, has this site visit occurred and are there are any conclusions that
were reached in which could be shared with us for our information?
We appreciate your time and attention on to this matter.
Thank you,
Anna Bausher
