About Us
This site was developed by a group of agencies interested in monitoring the health
of streams in the Pacific Northwest. The City of Seattle, King County, Pierce County,
and Snohomish County worked collaboratively to create a database system that allows
sharing of benthic macroinvertebrate data among organizations and provides tools
for calculating metrics and indices. We are actively using this site to store and
analyze data from ongoing macroinvertebrate sampling programs. Also, we recently
added historical benthic macroinvertebrate data collected by 17 other organizations
in the Puget Sound Region (view report).

Our Mission
To serve as a data repository and analysis tool for macroinvertebrate data collected
throughout the Puget Sound region. Our goal is to store macroinvertebrate data in
a manner that will allow for consistent comparisons among sites and programs over
time. By working collaboratively with multiple jurisdictions and sharing data via
the site, we hope to increase the value of our collective efforts.
