- Abstract:
-
Delineates streams in Whatcom County that support anadromous and resident fish stocks, shows rearing and spawning areas, accessible wetlands, and blockages
- Purpose:
-
Coverage was created through an Dept. of Ecology CZM grant, used to determine whether a particular stream has fish habitat. Some of the coverage info is part of the Critical Areas Ordinance

- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Coverage was created using DNR hydrology coverage as backround. Fish habitat information was then coded into streams.
- Process_Date: 19940000
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Took DNR Hydrology coverage and coded whether or not the streams were fish bearing. Point locations were digitized for species (upper extent), and blockages.
