Description:

These data represent documented intertidal spawning habitat for surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) in western Washington's marine waters. Surf smelt, along with other forage fishes, are important prey for many species of mammals, birds and fish, including salmon. Surf smelt spawn in the upper intertidal zone of beaches comprised of mixed sand and gravel. These fine-grained spawning substrates are susceptible to nearshore development where substrate coarsening may reduce the suitability of available habitat. The accurate representation of forage fish spawning habitat and delivery of those data to public sources is necessary for the conservation of these species.
