Intertidal fish inventory at San Juan Islands National Historical Park, 2001-2005. Coastal and fisheries staff from Olympic National Park conducted a four-day inventory of intertidal fishes at San Juan Island National Historical Park. Beach seine sampling was employed in all intertidal zone habitat types associated with the coastal areas of the American and English Camp units. A total of 26 sites were sampled in both park units, with 11 sites sampled in the protected bay habitats of English Camp and 15 in the more exposed coastal habitats of American Camp. This project represents an initial effort to inventory the intertidal fishes of the San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH). From this inventory, the fish communities of the American Camp (north and south) and English Camp shorelines were compared and the number of possible species present in the overall study area at the time of sampling were estimated. This inventory does not represent an accurate assessment of fish assemblage structure across different seasons or between years; rather it represents the assemblage structure found during the limited sampling period.
