Grantley Harbor

[citation needed][1] The area between Grantley Harbor, Port Clarence and Golovnin Bay was inhabited by the Kaveahrachamutes.

The sand pits at the opening of the bay are named Points Spencer and Jackson after the officers of the Navy.

[4] Point Spencer, the extremity of the low sand spit which extends 10 miles (16 km) from the coast, forms the south and west sides of the harbor.

At the extreme eastern end of the bay are two narrow sand spits, extending from the northern and southern shores, which enclose Grantley Harbor.

At the extreme eastern end of Grantley Harbor is a second strait, about 900 feet (270 m) wide, which connects with a third body of water, Imourouk Lake.

[10] Fish species of Pacific sandlance (Ammodytes personatus) is found in fairly large number in the harbor.

They in turn are the food chain and form the feed source for marine mammals, birds and other species of fish.

[17] Bird species recorded in the harbor are Pelagic cormorant, pigeon guillemot, horned puffin, common eider, black scoter, Arctic terns, glaucous gulls and White wagtails.
