SUMMARY:Sharks of Washington
DESCRIPTION:Washington’s coastal waters and the Salish Sea are home to an incredible diversity of shark species — from deep-dwelling sevengills to the graceful spiny dogfish that glide through our nearshore waters. These sharks are essential to healthy marine ecosystems\, and new research is revealing even more about their lives beneath the surface. \nJoin us this winter for Sharks of Washington\, the next session in CHB’s Voices for a Thriving Future lecture series. This community event brings local experts and residents together to explore the science\, species\, and environmental challenges shaping the health of Commencement Bay and South Sound waters. \nSaturday\, January 17 at 10:00 AMAsia Pacific Cultural Center4851 S Tacoma Way\, Tacoma\, WAFree and open to the public — no RSVP required \nCHB staff will kick off the program with a brief look at how water quality and pollution affect local shark species and why this work matters for their long-term survival. Then hear from our guest speaker\, Lisa Hillier\, about the shark populations inhabiting our waters and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s efforts to monitor and manage these species. In addition\, she will present recent scientific findings on two species that have expanded their range into the deeper waters of South Puget Sound! \nCome learn more about the predators that help keep our marine ecosystems healthy and thriving. \nMeet Our Speaker\nLisa Hillier\, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)\n\nLisa Hillier has served with the WDFW for more than 20 years\, where she has played a key role in the management of groundfish\, shellfish\, and forage fish species. She represents Washington on the Coastal Pelagic Species Management Team within the Pacific Fishery Management Council process and also serves on the North Pacific Fishery Management Council’s Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska Plan Teams. In addition to her management work\, Lisa remains actively engaged in field research\, conducting surveys through SCUBA\, remotely operated vehicles\, trawl\, and hook-and-line methods. She is currently leading multiple shark research initiatives in collaboration with universities and management agencies across both the West and East coasts. \n
