Port Gamble Ecosystem
The Port Gamble Ecosystem is a bay located in northwesternmost Kitsap Peninsula. The mouth of the bay is flanked by the Port Gamble communitya and mill on the west, and the Port Gamble Indian Reservation on the east. At the head of the bay, drift cells 2072 and 2073 converge at the estuarine complex at the mouths of Gamble and Martha John creeks. Drift Cells 2074 and 2075 converge at the barrier lagoon at Point Julia, which is the fishing port of the Port Gamble tribal community of New Boston. Drift cells 2071 and 2002 converge at the Port Gamble mill site on Teekalet Point, where significant fill has narrowed the mouth of the bay. In addition to six salmon bearing streams, the bay contains forage fish spawning including a distinct herring spawning population, and shell fish resources.
