Gustafson et al. (2000) state this value in the text, but then also provide a table of the mean annual streamflow of the major streams entering Puget Sound from Staubitz et al. (1997). When these tabulated values are added together, they total 10.2 Â 10 7 m 3 day À1 . This value is more consistent with another estimate of the total freshwater input to Puget Sound of 11.4 Â 10 7 m 3 day À1 by Lincoln (1977). This incorrect value was also cited by some of us in the introduction to a related manuscript (Moore et al., 2008). The error does not alter the results or conclusions of either of the manuscripts. The authors wish to apologize for this inconvenience and acknowledge P. MacCready and C. L. DeGasperi for recognizing the error.
