NMFS publication highlights Navy monitoring contribution in Puget Sound
The 2014 overview of Puget Sound Marine Waters produced by NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center for the Puget Sound Ecosystem Monitoring Program’s Marine Waters Workgroup highlights aerial survey work supported under the navy's marine Species Monitoring Program. These surveys specifically address the potential repopulation of Puget Sound by harbor porpoise.
The report provides an overview of 2014 marine water quality and conditions and associated biota in Puget Sound from comprehensive monitoring and observing programs. The report focuses on the marine waters of greater Puget Sound. Additional selected conditions are also included due to their influence on Puget Sound waters, such as selected climate indices and conditions along the outer Washington coast. This is the fourth annual report produced for the PSEMP Marine Waters Workgroup.
