Since the maps above were completed, additional data on fish distribution has been collected for the Nearshore Subwatershed portion of WRIA 9. These data show stream typing based on fish presence which includes -- but is not limited to -- salmonids.

• Vashon/Maury Island (data collected June 2001)
• Nearshore Mainland from West Seattle to Federal Way including West Seattle, Burien, Normandy Park, SeaTac, Des Moines, and Federal Way (data collected June 2003)

More recent data also may be available via the SalmonScape mapping tool created by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. It merges fish and habitat data collected by state, federal, tribal and local biologists and presents those data in an integrated system that can be readily accessed.
