The Stillaguamish Tribe of Washington has received a $56,000 grant to clean up Port Susan.
The tribe surveyed the port and found hundreds of abandoned crab pots and gill nets. Some have been removed but money from the Russell Family Foundation will enable the tribe to complete its work.
The removal of the items will help restore the habitat for endangered salmon.
