Disclaimer for WRIA 9 Fish GIS Data

This data depicts the known freshwater distribution in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 9 of seven species: chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka), chum (Oncorhynchus keta), pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki). The depicted limits of known freshwater distribution of these species are based upon the collective personal knowledge of participants in the WRIA 9 mapping project and data they gathered from published and unpublished databases.

This data may underestimate or overestimate the actual distribution of these species. Also, although this data was created from the standard King County hydrography layer, this data may inaccurately depict the location of water bodies. For example, some water bodies may be incorrectly located in this data.

All users of this data should seek the assistance of qualified professionals such as surveyors, hydrologists, or fishery biologists as needed to ensure that such users possess complete, precise, and up to date information on fish species distribution and water body location.

The information depicted in this data is current as of December 2000. This data may be revised at any time. Although the WRIA 9 Technical Committee intends to revise this data on an annual basis, the WRIA 9 Technical Committee cannot and does not guarantee that this data will be revised on an annual basis or at any other interval.
