Local Action Map Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 9

Local Action and Projects

We divide our watershed into pieces we call subwatersheds to better analyze the needs of salmon and design specific protection and restoration efforts to meet those needs.

These subwatersheds are defined by:

• The life stages of salmon in each subwatershed (for example, migration, spawning, rearing)
• Geography and topography (for example, high gradient, narrow streams in the mountains vs. the meandering river in the Kent Valley)
• Land use (for example, dense urbanization vs. agriculture) and constructed facilities such as dams
