| What
are Critical Areas? |
| Critical
Areas in Island County are environmentally sensitive natural
resources that have been designated for protection and
management in accordance with the requirements of our
State's Growth Management Act (GMA). Protection and management
of these areas is important to the preservation of ecological
functions of our natural environment, as well as the protection
of the public health, safety and welfare of our community.
