There are three Islands on Lake Ozette; Tivoli, Garden Island and a small overgrown postage stamp of an island.
The lake is highly productive and out-migrant yearling smolts are unusually large, averaging 4 ½ to 5 inches in length Smolts produced in OzetteLake are documented as the third largest among west coast sockeye populations examined for average smolt size.
The first estimates of escapement of OzetteLake sockeye salmon occurred in the early 1940s, and the run sizes entering the lake were estimated at a level of several thousand fish.
The OzetteLake sockeye salmon population was listed as a threatened Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) under the ESA on March 25, 1999.
The climate of the Ozette region is marine with mild seasons and excessive precipitation.
The overall impact of logging on the hydrology of LakeOzette is expected to be an increase in seasonal lake-level fluctuation: higher winter-season levels and lower summer-season level.
Several conditions in the Ozette watershed are believed to have contributed to the population decline (Table 1).
