The Islands Trust Fund issued a news release today that might be of interest to your readers, especially those in the Gulf Islands. The Islands Trust Fund posted a report and new mapping today highlighting all the beaches on Thetis, Denman and Hornby Islands capable of supporting forage fish spawning. The Islands Trust Fund hopes local trust committees (local governments) will use the new data when considering shoreline development setbacks and other planning tools that could preserve spawning habitat on the islands.
