Hood
Canal Complex
| Land
use in the Hood Canal complex (Little Anderson, Big Beef, Stavis,
and Seabeck Creeks) range from urban and residential in Little Anderson
Creek to almost entirely forestry in Stavis Creek. In Little Anderson
Creek, lack of wood and off-channel habitat have been identified as
factors likely constraining salmon production. Seabeck Creek displays
evidence of channel incision in some locations and significant amounts
of sediment deposition in other channel segments. The incision in
this watershed may actually be contributing to low summer flows by
reducing groundwater storage. Big Beef Creek has a small impoundment
that impacts water temperature downstream and provides habitat for
various warm water fishes that may prey on coho and steelhead smolts.
