Fish habitat has been compromised by development, land use, and historical forestry practices. The WRIA 16 Watershed Team has addressed habitat concerns in the watershed by:

• Supporting existing salmon recovery, habitat conservation, and open space programs
• Producing eduational materials to familiarize and involve citizens in efforts to conserve and restore fish habitat
• Providing links and downloads of selected publications and studies related to Hood Canal fish and wildlife habitat 
• Providing a website containing links to organizations with habitat protection, restoration and education programs to benefit local watersheds
• Providing a website with point-of-contact information for resource protection concerns
