Prompt: In Washington State's Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 01 -- the Nooksack River watershed plus some smaller independent watersheds, there are a number of jurisdictions, and they differ in how they implement Federal and State environmental rules and regulations. We are a wild fish advocacy group, and are setting up a campaign to protect Steelhead trout in WRIA 01. As we begin to plan our strategy, we need to identify which jurisdiction is most responsible for the protection of steelhead habitat so that we can focus our campaign's communication and policy efforts. We are still looking for funding for the campaign, so this analysis and report will be one of the primary documents we take to funders as we look to finance our campaign.
We have a specific question that requires GIS analysis to answer:
Which jurisdiction or jurisdictions in WRIA 01 are responsible for the most area of "high" potential steelhead habitat?
