Back by popular demand, Loren Brokaw of WA Dept of Fish & Wildlife will describe the Leque Island Estuary Restoration Project including the changes that have already occurred since October 2019 when the dikes were breached. Leque Island was a small patch of land (250 acres) between Camano and Stanwood, bounded on one side by Davis Slough and Stillaguamish River on the other.

Many years ago, when the tide gates and dikes began to fail, people began talking about letting nature (salt water) reclaim the land from the farming that was made possible by dikes. Learn how the project benefits all the species that rely on estuaries, including salmon, shorebirds, waterfowl and a host of other species. Find out about the new walking trail and non-motorized boat launches.

The SWS Executive Committee consists of the four officers plus the past President. Meetings are held the 3rd Tues monthly at 10 am except Nov-Dec when meetings occur one week earlier (ie one week before each board meeting).

Once you get the training, then you can help! On Camano, a very active team collects water samples at Camano Island State Park then reviews them as a team under the microscope.

• In 2019, sampling and review took place on Wednesdays (time depends on tide height) with further review of "fixed" samples on Fridays at 11 am starting with brunch at Cama Beach Cafe followed by microscope review in the basement of Cama Center.
• In 2020, microscopes were moved to private homes and these activities take place via zoom, which will be the same in 2021.

Camano's Sound Toxins team has a lot of fun and welcomes any Steward to come to a zoom to learn more.

SoundToxins holds its annual event coming up February 22 and 23 from 9am - 12pm both days via zoom. more details will be forthcoming
