In November 2002, coastal and fisheries staff from Olympic National
Park conducted a four-day inventory of intertidal fishes at San
Juan Island National Historical Park. Beach seine sampling was
employed in all intertidal zone habitat types associated with the
coastal areas of the American and English Camp units. A total of 26
sites were sampled in both park units, with 11 sites sampled in the
protected bay habitats of English Camp and 15 in the more exposed
coastal habitats of American Camp. Intertidal habitat diversity was
relatively low, with most areas dominated by mixed-coarse gravel
and sand (American Camp) or mud/silt (English Camp) substrates. A
total of 14 species were documented including various baitfish
(smelt, herring, sandlance), surfperch, flatfish, sculpins, and
gunnels. This project is the first effort to inventory the
intertidal fishes of San Juan Island National Historical Park and
only represents the assemblage structure found within the limited
sampling period.
