| 词条 | Oyster Bay (Puget Sound) |
| 释义 |
Oyster Bay is an inlet in southern Puget Sound which branches off from Totten Inlet. The bay spans Mason and Thurston counties, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1] Kennedy Creek empties into the bay at the U.S. Highway 101 overpass. Oyster Bay was named for the oyster industry it supports.[2] The bay is the site of one of only four oyster reserves in Puget Sound where the Olympia oyster grows.[3][4] Oyster Bay is one of the most productive chum salmon runs in the state with over 40,000 spawners a year, estimated to be two-thirds of the run that would exist without human impacts.[5][6] {{panorama|image=File:Oyster Bay Washington panorama 2.jpg|height=250|caption=Oyster Bay at low tide, looking northwest from the Thurston County side.
