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. PLEASE NOTE: This database contains information on species locations with direct regulatory implications. The locations of species may change over time. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife updates information as additional data become available. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife does not recommend using maps or digital data more than six months old; please obtain updates rather than use outdated information.

This dataset was supplied by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Locations were buffered by nine square miles by Conservation Biology Institute for data privacy.
