Salmon net pens operated by two local indian tribes and the Port of Seattle to protect and raise Coho (Silver) salmon for delayed release. The pens are metal-frame floats held in place by submerged anchors and covered with netting to prevent entry by fish-eating birds and mammals. Depending on the strength of the season hatcheries provide 300,000 to 500,000 fish to be raised here.

You can create multiple entries, and pay for them at the same time.
Just go to your History, and select multiple entries that you would like to pay for.
