approximately -1-foot MLLW and

The geoduck farm will consist of four -inch -diameter by 10-inch-long PVC tubes placed into the substrate during low tide One PVC tube will be
inserted per square foot of planting area, with three- to five inches of the tube exposed above the substrate surface. Geoduck seed will
subsequently be placed in installed and submerged tubes by divers. Once a geoduck seed is planted, the tube will then be covered with mesh
caps and secured with UV -resistant rubber bands. After two years, the tubes will be removed, and geoducks will be harvested about five or years
after planting
