    A Corps of Engineers employee scrapes barnacle buildup along the filling tunnels at Lake Washington Ship Canal and Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, Seattle, Dec. 12, 2023. The Army Corps is required by provisions of the Endangered Species Act to scrape barnacles once a year to help improve salmon’s odds of survival, by reducing their potential for injury or death as they pass through the Locks.
