- The Niuafo’ou Plate is a small tectonic plate located west of the islands of Tonga. This plate is sandwiched between the Pacific Plate to the north, the very unstable Tonga Plate to the east and the Australian Plate to the west. It is primarily surrounded by divergent boundaries. This plate is riddled with active faults thus making the area extremely earthquake prone.
- Dungeness Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Dungeness Unit is comprised of multiple properties, with diverse habitats that include deciduous dominant riparian forest, scrub-shrub wetland, marsh wetland, wet upland meadows and estuary. These properties were purchased to protect and restore the natural lower floodplain riverine system and forested wetland. Hunting opportunities are offered ONLY at the RIVER’S END PROPERTY. The properties to the east and west of the 3 Crabs Unit, including all tidelands, are privately owned. Please stay on the WDFW-owned trail and beach when visiting this property.
