Bellingham Bay was selected in 1996 by state and federal agencies as the site of a demonstration pilot to develop sediment cleanup and habitat restoration priorities in an urban embayment of Puget Sound. The Bellingham Bay Demonstration Project brings together a cooperative partnership of agencies and tribes, local government and businesses, known collectively as the Pilot Team.
