Why is the Nearshore Subwatershed Important to Salmon?

The Puget Sound nearshore -- where land and marine waters meet -- is a dynamic and interdependent ribbon of life for many plants and creatures. Salmon depend on the marine nearshore for food and shelter. Their success here reflects on the overall health of the nearshore ecosystem, which in turn is a key part of the greater Puget Sound environment.
