Presenter: Michael Dawson is the Water Quality Manager with the Department of Jefferson County Public Health. His principal responsibility is to protect surface water in eastern Jefferson County, Washington, from non-point source pollution. My goal is to keep shellfish beds open for harvest and ensure that outdoor water recreation is safe.
