Stillaguamish Slough Protection
- Status
- Funded in 1998
The Stillaguamish River supports a regionally important fishery that is at risk. Of the 5 species of salmon in the watershed, 2 (chinook and coho) are listed by state and tribal agencies as ""depressed."" Nonpoint pollution has closed commercial shellfish beds at the river's outlet. Pollution problems prompted the Department of Ecology to fund an early action watershed plan. The 1990 plan (which included habitat actions) continues to be actively implemented under the guidance of the citizen/agency Stillag
