Description When a stream is considered too warm, Ecology first confirms the problem by collecting more data, then investigates ways to address the condition. When elevated temperature conditions were found in some lower Skagit tributaries, Ecology conducted a detailed monitoring program and analyzed the data.

This focus sheet provides ways that you can help reduce stream temperatures and also gives contact information on how to obtain a copy of the DRAFT Lower Skagit Tributaries Temperature Technical Report.
