Priority habitats definition
Priority habitats means a seasonal range or habitat element with which a given species has a primary association and which, if altered, may reduce the likelihood that the species will maintain and reproduce over the long term. These might include areas of high relative density or species richness, breeding habitat, winter range, and movement corridors. These might also include habitats that are of limited availability or high vulnerability to alteration.
Priority habitats means areas defined from time to time by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife with one or more of the following attributes: comparatively high wildlife density, high or significant wildlife species richness, significant wildlife breeding habitat, significant wildlife seasonal ranges, significant movement corridors for wildlife, and wildlife habitat of limited availability and/or high vulnerability.
Priority habitats means seasonal range or habitat element with which a given species is primarily associated and which, if altered, may reduce survival potential of that species over the long‐term. These may include habitat areas of:
