DESCRIPTION
Wild Fish Conservancy (WFC) used grant funding to complete visual and electrofishing surveys to determine and correct water type classifications in an additional 128 miles of streams in prioritized portions of WRIA 15 using state-sanctioned protocols. WFC surveyed 40 streams that flow directly into Puget Sound at the north end of the Kitsap Peninsula between Indianola, WA and Port Gamble, WA. Blackjack Creek near Port Orchard and portions of lower Chico Creek near Bremerton, WA were also included. With GPS, WFC accurately mapped previously unmapped and incorrectly mapped water courses. In addition to providing data to ensure informed and responsible management of these watersheds, this assessment generated species-specific distribution data to assist with restoration project identification and prioritization efforts. During the course of the field surveys, Wild Fish Conservancy staff observed and documented habitat restoration and protection opportunities; these are presented in Appendix A of our final report. WFC incorporated assessment results in a web-based interactive GIS (see www.wildfishconservancy.org) available to resource managers and the general public. Data formats are compatible with State, County, City, and Tribal datasets. This project complements WFC’s SRFB-funded watertype assessments in WRIAs 2, 7, 13, 14, and 22, and is a continuation of work initiated under SRFB 09-1690. Effective salmon recovery requires the restoration and protection of fish habitats. Kitsap, Pierce, and Mason County stream buffer width requirements are set by watertype. Existing watertype maps demonstrably under-represent the extent of fish and fish habitat, and many streams are mapped incorrectly or not at all. Consequently, many stream channels that warrant protection are not receiving appropriate buffers.
