Port Washington Narrows
Bremerton, Kitsap Co., WA
Site Description:
This
site is a narrow channel running through Bremerton. It connects
Dyes Inlet with Sinclair Inlet. A public beach runs along the
east side of the channel. The beach is interspersed with areas of
cobble and sand. The areas of cobble exposed at low tide are
covered in various marine algae. Many introduced species can be
found here due to the nearby shipping and naval traffic.

Species List:
Following is a list of mollusk species observed at this
location by members and associates of the club. This is by no
means a complete list of the species which may occur at this site.
Revisions and additions to the data are made as we acquire new
information. When a site contains more than one very distinctive
type of habitat or if multiple sites were included in a single
location, then a
species list for each is included.
We indicate
frequency of occurrence based on our observations. This is an
indicator of how likely it is that you may be able to find this
species yourself and is not a formal population survey.
Frequency Code:
(Based on the assumption that you are looking in the appropriate
location where the species
likes to live - on rocks, in sand, etc. Some populations fluctuate seasonally. Ours are based
on
the spring/summer seasons.)
