Description The Department of Ecology’s Watershed Health Monitoring (WHM) program assesses streams and rivers across the state to obtain a consistent, objective picture of habitat and biological conditions. We track these conditions over time to answer important questions about the overall function and health of our watersheds.

Our scientists determine watershed health by analyzing the monitoring data for each region. We assess the key factors and conditions that affect the continued success of aquatic species.

We sample eight regions across the state on a rotating basis. During 2022, WHM will survey 50 streams and rivers in the Coastal region between July 1 and October 15. We previously sampled this region in 2010 and in 2014.
