Description Representatives from Northwest environmental management agencies recommended 15 salmon habitat indicators be used to evaluate Northwest streams. The Washington State Department of Ecology tested these indicators during a three-month study using existing data from the Snohomish River Basin near Seattle. The results of this study show that many of the indicators can be useful tools in evaluating Northwest streams. However, there were a number of challenges which prevented or hindered the analyses. These challenges included data availability, documentation, and formats. Recommendations for data standards are provided to promote information sharing among groups monitoring salmon habitat.
