Implementation Survey Results & Programmatic Actions - WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council Presentation

1. IMPLEMENTATION SURVEY RESULTS -PROGRAMMATIC ACTIONS- Presentation to the WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council November 19, 2009

2. DATA COLLECTION METHODS • Survey Administered in 2009 (2008 actions) • Same survey in 2008 (2006-2007 actions) • Polled WRIA 8 Jurisdictions • Did not poll other implementers • Survey asks: Is program being implemented? • Does not address: • Effectiveness of programs/actions • Overlap of programs between jurisdictions

3. DATA ANALYSIS • May be problematic to compare raw numbers between 2008 & 2009 • Smaller number of respondents in 2008 • Results analyzed differently between years • 2008: Jurisdictions (by number) • 2009: Jurisdictions, Population, and Land Area (by percent) • 2009 analysis includes new element • Program Ranking

4. Programmatic Actions • Stormwater-related Programs • Landscaping Programs • Lakeshore/Shoreline Programs • Water Quality-related Programs • Water Conservation Programs • Programs related to Forest Cover, Large Woody Debris, and Riparian Protection • Sample Question:
