| Abstract | Long Description |
This document provides guidance for Puget Sound planners, resource managers, and consultants on how to better protect aquatic ecosystems, such as lakes, rivers, wetlands, and estuaries, by including information about watershed processes in resource management plans and regulatory actions. (Watershed processes means the delivery, movement, and loss of water, sediment, nutrients, toxins, pathogens, and large woody debris.) We do this through five steps that qualitatively describe these processes. While we designed this document for use by those managing natural resources within the Puget Sound region, the steps can be applied to any region of the state. |
