  • Kitsap County Watershed Location Map Washington State Seems to Have an Abundance of Water
    KITSAP COUNTY INITIAL BASIN ASSESSMENT October 1997 With the multitudes of lakes, streams, and rivers, Kitsap County Watershed Location Map Washington State seems to have an abundance of water. The demand for water resources, however, has steadily increased each year, while the water supply has stayed the same, or in some cases, appears to have declined. This increased demand for limited water resources has made approving new water uses complex and controversial. To expedite decisions about pending water rights, it is vital to accurately assess the quality and quantity of our surface and ground water. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) recognizes that water right decisions must be based on accurate scientific information. Ecology is working with consultants and local governments to conduct special studies called Initial What do we know about the Kitsap County Watershed or Basin Assessments throughout the Basin? State. The assessments describe existing water rights, streamflows, precipitation, geology, hydrology, Kitsap County encompasses almost 400 square miles and water quality, fisheries resources, and land use occupies a peninsula and several islands in Puget Sound. patterns. It is bounded on the east and north by Puget Sound and The assessments evaluate existing data on water which Admiralty Inlet, and on the west by Hood Canal.

  • Surf Smelt Fact Sheet
    WASHINGTON STATE SURF SMELT FACT SHEET NAME: Surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus (Girard 1855). GEOGRAPHIC RANGE: Long Beach, California to Chignik Lagoon, Alaska. The Asian subspecies, Hypomesus pretiosus japonicas, occurs in the northwest Pacific Ocean. RELATED SPECIES: Several members of the smelt family, Osmeridae, occur in Washington waters, including eulachon (Columbia River smelt, hooligan) Thaleichthys pacificus, longfin smelt Spirinchus thaleichthys, whitebait smelt Allosmerus elongatus, and night smelt Spirinchus starksi. Unlike the other species, both eulachon and longfin smelt are anadromous, migrating into streams in the winter to spawn. Note: Columbia River smelt (eulachon) are listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and recreational fishing for this species in Washington waters is limited to years in which the run size is exceptionally large. Be sure to check the recreational fishing regulations (http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/) before attempting to fish for any smelt species. RECOGNITION: Characteristic dark stripe down the middle of the side of the body. Also notable for small mouth with maxillary (upper jaw bone) that does not extend past the midpoint of the pupil of the eye; dorsal fin begins in front of the pelvic fin; pelvic fins short; and small, curved adipose fin. Length up to eight inches. LOCAL DISTRIBUTION: Surf smelt occur abundantly throughout the nearshore marine waters of Washington, from the Columbia River to the Canadian border and into southernmost Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Genetic research suggests that, despite this broad distribution, surf smelt throughout Puget Sound represent a single stock. SPAWN TIMING: Surf smelt populations can generally be divided into summer spawners and fall/winter spawners, though year- round spawning has been documented in the Whidbey Basin, Port Susan, portions of the San Juan Islands, and central Puget Sound (Eagle Harbor and Sinclair Inlet).

"Illahee" means "earth" or "country" in the Indian tradition, and views of Puget Sound from the Illahee beach give the viewer a sense of what that word meant to native people. “ Washington State Parks DEDICATION The Illahee Community Plan is dedicated to those who have preceded us on this piece of earth known as Illahee: • The Suquamish and other Native Americans; • The early settlers; and • Those who respected the natural features of this land. “The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.” ~Author Unknown To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified… ~Theodore Roosevelt i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS KITSAP COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Stephen Bauer, District 1 Jan Angel, District 2 Josh Brown, District 3 KITSAP COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTING NORTH KITSAP: Lou Foritano Linda Paralez Thomas E.
