Thank you for the link, Houston. It is very disturbing to hear that the
state is planning to go ahead with a hugely experimental pesticide spray
into the marine environment that is opposed by NOAA, US Fish and Wildlife
and the National Marine Fisheries Service.



Do we know if any organization is planning to appeal this to the Pollution
Control Hearings Board?

Subject: [Tweeters] Spraying insecticides over Willapa Bay



I wanted to share this article from the Seattle Times:

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/disbelief-over-state-plan-to-spray-
neurotoxin-into-oyster-beds/

The article mentions a potential impact on ducks, but I would think spraying
insecticides that are "highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates" would greatly
impact the millions(?) of migrating shorebirds who are planning on eating
these invertebrates as they make their way north to their breeding grounds?
Spraying begins mid-may.
