Near-Term Action Agenda for Salmon Habitat
The WRIA 9 Steering Committee completed the Near-Term Action Agenda (NTAA) in May 2002.
From 2002-2005, the NTAA provided guidance to local governments, volunteer groups, and citizens on interim measures to protect and restore salmon habitat in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9) while the Steering Committee worked on the long-term comprehensive Salmon Habitat Plan for the watershed.
With the approval of the Salmon Habitat Plan in 2005, the NTAA was retired. Many recommendations of the NTAA were included in the Salmon Habitat Plan.

The NTAA recommended near-term actions to help restore and protect habitat for Chinook salmon and bull trout. The document:
- Described what local governments, environmental groups, and others were doing as of 2002 for salmon habitat in the watershed; and
- Recommended actions, research, and changes to local government policies and programs for the period 2002-2005. See the progress reports at right for a summary of the work done during this period.
The NTAA was the result of four years of collaborative efforts and one year of sustained discussion among elected officials, city and county staff, business and environmental groups, scientists, and concerned citizens in the watershed.
As a guidance document for watershed salmon habitat recovery efforts, the NTAA was replaced by the Salmon Habitat Plan in December 2005.
