Description The benthic macroinvertebrate communities were sampled in McDonald Creek and South Fork (SF) Fulton Creek, two low order tributaries to Hood Canal in Jefferson County, Washington. The creeks were sampled from 1993 through 1996 during the fall low flow period. The study was designed to monitor cumulative effects to the benthic community in McDonald Creek before and after timber harvesting. SF Fulton Creek was sampled concurrently to provide a reference condition.
