Puget Sound-wide mapping of coastal landforms and feeder bluffs. |
| accessInformation:
|
These maps were developed by Coastal Geologic Services for the Department of Ecology as part of a project looking at feeder bluffs on Puget Sound. This project was managed at Ecology by Hugh Shipman. Funding was from the United States Environmental Protection Agency under Assistance Agreement PC 00J29801 to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and was administered by the Lead Organization for Marine and Nearshore Grants at WDFW. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>These maps delineate the entire Puget Sound shoreline by geomorphic type. The primary purpose of the mapping was to identify feeder bluffs, eroding shorelines that are important to maintaining nearby beaches. Knowledge of the distribution of these features can be used by local planners and resource agencies to better manage Puget Sound shorelines. The study emphasized mapping of coastal bluffs, but also extended to a wide range of other coastal landforms, including rocky shores, river deltas, and small lagoons and estuaries. This mapping project is described in the following report, available from the Department of Ecology: MacLennan., A. Johannessen, J.W., Williams, S.A., Gerstel, W., Waggoner, J.F., and Bailey, A., 2013, Feeder Bluff Mapping of Puget Sound, prepared by Coastal Geologic Services, Bellingham, for Washington Department of Ecology, Olympia WA, 117 pp and map folio.
