Snohomish Estuary Wetlands Study. Volume II. Basic Information and Evaluation
Abstract
This document represents the synthesis and integration of base information on the physical and biological and public and land use characteristics of the Snohomish estuary study area. It contains an identification of study area lands and wetlands, a description and evaluation of all wetlands and associated aquatic resources in the study area, and identification and description of areas to be considered Areas of Importance and Areas of Environmental Concern based on their physical, biological, and public and land use characteristics. It also contains a description of activities and their impacts on wetlands/aquatic resources and a discussion of land use trends and development pressure in the estuary. It is designed to provide a method and the necessary base information for evaluation of the specific and cumulative effects of typical development activities on lands and wetlands of the study area. In so doing, it establishes an objective basis for the evaluation of permit applications in the Snohomish estuary study area. (Author)
