Each array is made up of six rafts. Each raft is
approximately 30' by 34' in size. If you do not live within
300 feet of such a project, you will not be notified that this
will be coming to the water near you. WA Department of
Natural Resources leases out these sub-tidal sea beds.

three rafts each growing the non-native mussel, M.

project. October 2006
