It was a beautiful day to dedicate the Swinomish clam garden to the legacy of Lorraine Loomis. The Wilbur family, Fisheries staff, and community members gathered at Kukutali to unveil the ʔitəkʷbixʷ's Sea Garden, which includes a plaque mounted on a clam garden rock and a bench that reads, “We will never stop fighting for the health of our cultures, communities, and natural resources – and we will never stop defending out treaty rights.”

Shellfish staff member Joe Williams shared, “I’m just very proud that we’re able to dedicate this garden to Lorraine,” a sentiment echoed by others at the event.
