The Shellfish Interagency Permitting (SIP) team is part of the
Washington Shellfish Initiative. The intergovernmental team was convened in December 2011 and tasked with improving the timeliness of permit decisions while ensuring regulatory compliance. The team continues to meet quarterly and with ad hoc permit work groups as needed.
