dbo:abstract | Die Willapa Bay ist eine Bucht im Pacific County des US-Bundesstaates Washington. Sie ist etwa 38 km lang und etwa 17 km breit und wird durch die Long Beach Peninsula vom Pazifik abgetrennt. In der Bucht liegen die Inseln Long Island und Grassy Island. Die Flüsse Willapa River und Naselle River münden in die Bucht. An die Bucht grenzen der Leadbetter Point State Park und das Shoalwater-Indianerreservat, außerdem liegen dort einige kleinere Ortschaften und gemeindefreie Ansiedlungen. Die Region lebt von der Fischerei und der Austernzucht. Etwa 9 % der jährlichen Austernproduktion in den Vereinigten Staaten stammt aus der Willapa-Bucht. Die Willapa-Austern zählen zu den besten Austern, die in den USA produziert werden. Die Willapa-Bucht ist bekannt für ihre Biodiversität, sodass ein Großteil der Bucht als Willapa National Wildlife Refuge unter Naturschutz gestellt wurde. Das Naturschutzgebiet wird durch den U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service verwaltet.

The Long Beach Peninsula separates Willapa Bay from the greater expanse of the Pacific Ocean. With over 260 square miles (670 km2) of water surface Willapa Bay is the second-largest estuary on the United States Pacific coast. Early settlers called the bay Shoalwater Bay and this name is found on old maps and charts of the region. Willapa Bay is fairly shallow: more than half of its surface area lies in the intertidal zone, and half of the volume of water inside it enters and leaves with every tide. The bay is an estuary formed when the Long Beach Peninsula, a long sand spit from the Columbia River to the south, partially enclosed the estuaries of several smaller rivers. It is a ria, which formed after the rise in sea level at the end of the last ice age flooded several small river valleys. The North River, Willapa River, and Naselle River provide most of the freshwater input into the bay. Other rivers that empty into Willapa Bay include the Bone River, Niawiakum River, Palix River, Cedar River and Bear River, among others. The bay is bordered by several smaller towns and unincorporated communities such as Raymond and South Bend, both on the Willapa River; Oysterville, Nahcotta, Bay Center and Tokeland are on the bay itself. The bay is entirely located within Pacific County, Washington and is home to a local oyster and seafood processing industry: approximately 9% of all oysters in the U.S. are grown there. Willapa Bay is known for its biodiversity and much of it, including the entirety of Long Island, has been set aside as part of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. The oyster beds help the ecosystem by providing habitats and filtering water, improving the quality of the water. The bay's ecology was threatened in the 1990s by the rapid spreading of Atlantic cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), a non-native species of grass introduced possibly to help preserve wetlands and marsh areas, and possibly simply by accident as packing material in crates of oysters from the East Coast. The State of Washington has been spraying an herbicide thought not to threaten other species since about 2005, and the Spartina threat is much reduced. (en) |
