The Many Dimensions of the Cedar River Watershed A Look at Competing Stakeholders and Their Perspectives Over the past several decades balancing water resource uses between human use activities and protecting the environment has become more challenging in many watersheds in particular watersheds that have faced tremendous growth such as the Puget Sound Region. With the recent listing of several anadromous fish species under the endangered species act, balancing of resources needs in the watershed has become more challenging by not only including different stakeholders but also requirements to meet federal statutes. This web site is intended to introduce the reader to several of the key issues in the watershed, associated stakeholders and a continuum of philosophical perspectives arise from different value systems. View continuum now. To get more information on the key issues and to understand how each of them interrelate, view a map of the Cedar River Watershed. View map now. We have also included a discussion of regulatory issues, science and political decisions, and an overall environmental ethical discussion as they relate to the Watershed.
