See the literature cited sections of the attached publication, literature review and annual reports for extensive scientific and technical sources regarding the Strait, mariculture in Western Washington and related topics. Unfortunately, much of the pertinent technical information is not available on line or is restricted access. Several links were cited already in the question and answers section and references but a few more are included here:
