Description: These layers describe the components of shoreline systems based on Shipman 2008. Historical forms are identified for the purpose of comparison on the current shore "line" and do not reflect historical shore line position.

Description: Nearshore Strategies represent the findings of Cereghino et al. (2012), which makes recommendations for the protection and restoration of shoreline ecosystem sites, based on landform and assumptions about how the processes and structures of shoreline landforms are affected by the stressors, characterized in previous PSNERP analyes. This cartography is to be viewed one landform at a time. Additional information can be found at www.pugetsoundnearshore.org.
Description: The River Delta Strategy aims to protect and restore freshwater input and tidal flow processes where major river floodplains meet marine waters. These analyses are intended to serve as a durable framework, allowing us to evaluate a proposed action and its ability to restore or protect ecosystem dynamics and services in the context of a site, a sub-basin and the region, providing a powerful basis for planning and prioritization.

Description: The Beach Strategy aims to protect and restore sediment input and transport processes in littoral drift cells where wave energy results in bluff erosion that sustains beach structure. These analyses are intended to serve as a durable framework, allowing us to evaluate a proposed action and its ability to restore or protect ecosystem dynamics and services in the context of a site, a sub-basin and the region, providing a powerful basis for planning and prioritization.

Description: Recovery of lost embayments was specifically identified by Fresh et al. (2010) and in PSNERP planning objectives. Therefore, we mapped and developed some attributes for discrete lost barrier embayments (i.e. where embayment shoreline length had been reduced to zero). We propose that in addition to historic embayment shoreline length and wetland area, that the continuity of embayment service provides benefits to mobile species dependant on the connectivity between embayment sites. Where loss of an embayment creates a larger gap in the continuity of embayment services, therefore the relative benefit derived from restoration would be greater than if the gap created were smaller. To describe this rarity we calculated the distance from each lost embayment to the nearest existing embayments to describe the potential for restoration to fill a gap in embayment services.

Description: The Barrier Embayment Strategy aims to protect and restore sediment input and transport processes to littoral drift cells where bluff erosion sustains barrier beaches that form barrier embayments, and restore the tidal flow processes found therein. These analyses are intended to serve as a durable framework, allowing us to evaluate a proposed action and its ability to restore or protect ecosystem dynamics and services in the context of a site, a sub-basin and the region, providing a powerful basis for planning and prioritization.

Description: The Coastal Inlet Strategy aims to protect and restore tidal flow processes in coastal inlets, and protect and restore freshwater input and detritus transport processes therein. These systems are defined by an area protected from wave energy by landscape configuration, and largely independent on sediment transport systems. These analyses are intended to serve as a durable framework, allowing us to evaluate a proposed action and its ability to restore or protect ecosystem dynamics and services in the context of a site, a sub-basin and the region, providing a powerful basis for planning and prioritization.
