  • Watershed Plan
    CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND This watershed plan for the Hoko-Lyre Watershed provides a comprehensive review and evaluation of vital water resources in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 19 and lays the groundwork for future management and stewardship of these resources. Located on the Olympic Peninsula (see Figure 1-1), WRIA 19 is a beautiful and remote area with few human inhabitants, though it carries a legacy of large- scale logging throughout the region. Based on the review of water resources, this plan outlines steps for ensuring the optimum ongoing use of the watershed’s surface waters and groundwater in a way that balances water needs for human use and environmental protection. An overview of the important characteristics of WRIA 19 is provided below. Appendix A provides more detailed descriptions of WRIA 19 features that are important for consideration in a watershed plan. Figure 1-1. WRIA 19 and Subbasins 1.1 WHY WAS THIS PLAN DEVELOPED? In 1998, the Washington State Legislature created the Watershed Management Act (Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 90.82) to support local communities in addressing water resource management issues. The act established a voluntary watershed management planning process for the major river basins in the state. The goal of the planning process is to support economic growth while promoting water availability and quality. The Act encourages local governments and interested groups and citizens to assess basin water resources and develop strategies for managing them. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) defined boundaries that divide the state into WRIAs, which correspond to the watersheds of major rivers, and established funding for groups in each WRIA that choose to undertake the planning process (funding is broken down by phases of the planning 1-1 WRIA 19 Watershed Plan… effort, as described in Appendix B).

  • Tribal Wildlife Grant Final Report Makah Cougar and Bobcat Research Grant: F12AP00260
    Tribal Wildlife Grant Final Report Makah Cougar and Bobcat Research Grant: F12AP00260 Prepared by: Shannon Murphie and Rob McCoy 1 INTRODUCTION Mountain lions or cougars (Puma concolor) and bobcats (Lynx rufus) are both native mammals of the family Felidae. Mountain lions are large solitary cats with the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere (Iriarte et al. 1990). Bobcats are also solitary cats that range from southern Canada to northern Mexico, including most of the continental United States. Both species are predators and as such play a prominent role in Native American mythology and culture due to their perceived attributes such as grace, strength, eyesight, and hunting ability. Similar to other Native American Tribes, predators have played a key role in the culture and ceremonies of the Makah people. Gray wolves (Canis lupus), black bear (Ursus americanus), cougars, and bobcats all are important components of Makah culture both historically and in contemporary times. For example, black bears and gray wolves both represented important clans in Makah history. Gray wolves exhibited cooperative behavior that provided guidelines for human behavior and “Klukwalle,” or wolf ritual, was a secret society that required a 6 day initiation period (G. Arnold, personal communication). Wolf hides were also used in dance and costume regalia. Bear hides were worn by men of status (Chapman 1994) and as regalia during whale hunts (G. Ray, personal communication). Cougars and bobcats play a smaller, but still important role in Makah history and contemporary culture. During naming ceremonies a Makah name is given which best reflects an individual, often an animal such as the mountain lion is used as it represents intelligence and power.
