The Stillaguamish Tribe
is in the process of setting minimum instream flows in the Stillaguamish
Watershed (WRIA 05). The Tribe is working with the Washington
Department of Ecology, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
and the Tulalip Tribe to determine flows that are needed to
be maintained instream for salmon and steelhead during all life
stages. Part of this process is monitoring actual stream flow
in critical subbasins to inform decision makers on the flow
of the water. The WDOE has received funding to put in 12 stream
gages (8 telemetry real time gages, and 4 staff gages) in the
Stillaguamish Watershed for the WRIA 5 Enhanced Stream Flow
Monitoring Project. The following link is to Ecology's web site
which has access to view all of the stream gages Ecology operates
in the Stillaguamish Watershed.
