WDFW - Wildlife Survey Data Management (WSDM)

Independent

Data in the Wildlife Survey and Data Management database are used for documentation and tracking of species abundance, distribution, breeding and population status in Washington State. These data are used for the development of survey needs and priorities, conservation efforts, research projects, management and recovery plans, and species status reports by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, other state and federal agencies, counties, research institutions and private organizations. Some data have regulatory impacts and are used to screen proposed land development projects and timber sales. The database also contains data from non-detection survey efforts for particular species.
