Ambient Monitoring Project, King County - DNRP King County Water and Land Resources Division collects annual benthic macroinvertebrate samples from approximately 150 creeks within the Greater Lake Washington and Green-Duwamish River watersheds. This sampling helps to characterize existing aquatic macroinvertebrate conditions, detect differences in biological condition between sub-basins, and identify changing trends over time.
