  • Loss of Habitat: Urbanization and industrial activities have encroached⁣ upon critical habitats like wetlands and shorelines—directly endangering species reliant on these ecosystems.
  • Climate Change: Increasing sea temperatures coupled with ⁢altered freshwater flows intensify stress on native species affecting their reproductive success rates.

The ramifications of these issues on biodiversity within Puget Sound are profound. Iconic species such as Southern Resident killer whales, salmon populations like Chinook salmon, along with various shellfish face alarming risks. The table below illustrates the current status of several key affected species:
