WDFW's crustacean lead Kateyln Bosly just sent an email out to the Crab and Shrimp Advisory Group members to the effect that the Skokomish tribe's ramp remains closed.

The pertinent part of her email as follows:


"The WDFW crustacean team wanted to give the advisory group a quick heads up on some information we confirmed earlier today: the Skokomish Tribe has decided not to open their boat launch (Skokomish Park at Potlatch/Saltwater Park) facility in time for the recreational shrimp opener due to concerns related to COVID-19. The date for re-opening is TBD at this time, but we are not optimistic it will happen before July. This is obviously a blow for access in southern Hood Canal and we are hustling to get word out."
