Biological Monitoring Project

Kitsap County SSWM initiated a biological monitoring in 1998 to provide information on the health of Chico Creek, Big Beef Creek and Big Anderson Creek (at Holly).

Kitsap County Stream Team began County wide biological monitoring using volunteers to collect samples from 15 streams, eventually growing to a peak of 26 streams in 2004.

Creek monitoringMap of Stream Sites and Watersheds

Bottom dwelling stream “bugs” or benthic macroinvertebrates are collected once a year from the same section of stream to show stream health trends and to provide baseline data for some of Kitsap County’s streams. The score of each stream sampled can be found below in four graphs by County area. Use the “Map of Stream Sites and Watersheds” for help locating a stream sample site and watershed.
