This Chapter of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) concerns shellfish protection districts. For purposes of this Chapter, "shellfish tidelands" means all saltwater tidelands on which shellfish are grown or harvested for human consumption.

Specifically, it provides for shellfish protection districts, establishment, governing body, programs; shellfish protection districts, creation, boundaries, cooperation with governmental entities, abolition, referendum to repeal creation, certain fees not permitted; shellfish protection districts, programs required after closure or downgrading of growing area classification, annual report; decisions addressing conflicting uses, integration of the state environmental policy act and county ordinances and resolutions with programs; plans to control pollution effects of animal waste, contracts with conservation districts; program financing, activities not subject to fees, rates, or charges, collection of charges or rates; state water quality financial assistance, priority to counties with shellfish protection districts; and certain authority of counties not affected by chapter.
