I know where I'm crabbing next year. Those salmon fed crabbies are the tastiest. Extraspecially those illegal to retain nookers give them a sweet sweet taste of what once was and never will be again type fisheries.

What is the concern? Putting the carks back into the water is exactly what anglers are supposed to do. It's not much different than a spawned out salmon. It's alot better than tossing them into a landfill.
The marine derived nutrients are exactly what the estuary needs. Take note of the small fish that are feeding off the carks. The crabs can't be far behind.
Whoever put these carks in the water is doing things correctly.
Also, I counted six carks. That's a daily limit for three anglers.

At least it's better then last year at the Monte launch on the Chehalis, HUGE pile of tuna carcasses dumped in the middle of the middle launch, it could not be used without moving them. Total shi*heads. Bob R

Just because the carcasses are at Shilshole doesn't mean they were caught in a closed area Fish on... Todd

It's a short run to MA 11 from Shilshole... just saying, 30+ seems a bit suspicious though.
On dumping the carks... like all things, it's a matter of amount. One guy doing it, no biggie... everyone doing it, could be a problem (think sealions in westport).
I fish out of shilshole myself, I dump my carks elsewhere in Salmon bay.

I've been to Shilshole 1000 times and that doesnt look like any of the docks or surrounding waters by the boat launch there.

One concern is an entirely legal one. It is illegal, under the Clean Water Act, to put biological materials (and a host of other stuff) into the water. When WDF first started the whole nutrient enhancement/put carcasses back program they had to do a complete environmental review and get approval from the water quality regulators. Which they did.
Biologically and ecologically there is nothing wrong with what they did. That doesn't make it legal, though. Not that they care.

Agree. That is definitely not one of the docks at the boat launch, or in the marina...Shilshole's docks all are made of much nicer wood, and don't they have white rubber all along both sides of both docks at the boat launch? There may not be rubber along the south edge of the southernmost dock? Fish on... Todd

Poor form to dump them at the ramp, whatever ramp it was. Take them out and dump them in the deeper water if you must.

Dang, guess I risked a hefty Federal violation each time I returned clam, shrimp and crab remains back to the beach. Oh, what should I do now that I realize what a bad environmental steward I have been for so many years??? Well, maybe continue with what I've been doing.

Note I said it was illegal. I didn't say it was not the right thing to do.

One issue here is that you can't fillet your fish and dump the carcasses before "coming ashore" per WDFW regulations:
"Clean or portion fish or shellfish while in the field with the following exceptions: It is unlawful for an angler to fail to retain proof of compliance with species, size, number, weight, sex, or wild or hatchery origin restriction, if such restrictions apply, until the angler is ashore and has finished fishing for the day. For all ROCKFISH species and for fish with a length restriction, anglers must retain the fish carcass until coming ashore to comply with the above rule. This does not apply if the catch is in the process of being prepared for immediate consumption."
If you come ashore, filleted your fish, then went back out to dump the carcasses, good luck convincing a wildlife officer as you came in a second time that you already came ashore once before dumping carcasses...
