Marine basins (biogeographic regions)
Puget Sound is divided into nine sub-basins which are defined primarily by oceanographic zones
and sills (Ebbesmeyer et al.1984). These nine sub-regions are: West Strait of Juan de Fuca, East
Strait of Juan de Fuca, San Juan Archipelago, Strait of Georgia, Whidbey Basin, Admiralty Inlet,
Hood Canal, Central Puget Sound, and South Puget Sound.
