Washington Priority Rivers and Wetlands

This map, created from our Freshwater Assessment GIS package, depicts priority freshwater rivers and wetlands throughout Washington. In addition to priority rivers, the Freshwater Assessment contains descriptions of 23 freshwater systems that offer the highest degree of conservation opportunity in light of existing impacts and constraints, current ownership and management, and future threats. We describe the methods we used to map freshwater priorities in our Freshwater Assessment Report.
