The project involves construction of 1,530 feet of breakwaters, an entrance channel, an access channel and a turning basin for small boats on Puget Sound at Brownsville, Kitsap County, Washington. Shellfish production on the 2-1/2 acres under the breakwaters would be eliminated and the shellfish in the 10-acre boat basin would be inaccessible to harvest. The breakwater would create a visual impact on the setting. Some water contact recreation in the project area will be lost.
