NOAA Puget Sound Steelhead Critical Habitat Comments
The WSC provided comments for critical habitat designation for the Puget Sound Wild Steelhead DPS. The WSC analyzed the Proposed critical habitat designation map and found specific areas that should be included in the critical habitat designation. Well Documented Science and research has indicated these areas are critical to wild Steelhead adults and juvenile migration. The WSC also commented on habitat degredation and channelization of rivers. These impacts must be addressed in the critical habitat designation as well.
WSC Statement on the Proposed ESA Listing of Puget Sound Steelhead
An encouraging statement by WSC on the potential ESA listing of Puget Sound steelhead. Although the listing is a sad and sobering reality, WSC says that there is reason for optimism in the Puget Sound region. The WSC is hopeful that the listing will create awareness and spark some much needed media coverage on the declining populations of the worlds greatest gamefish.
