Shoreline Monitoring Toolbox: Data Analysis and Interpretation

The Shoreline Monitoring Toolbox provides standardized approaches to monitor shorelines in Puget Sound. The development of a database and expansion of the toolbox implementation will generate information that can be used in guidance to encourage more armoring removals, or soft armoring use, and will provide an adaptive management framework to identify what is and is not working for the benefit of future restoration projects. This project will analyze and interpret data that have been collected using protocols in the Shoreline Monitoring Toolbox and uploaded to the database. These data will be used to assess restoration effectiveness and status and trends in Puget Sound. This also completes new monitoring sites and extended data analyses that are integrated into data visualizations and sharing of information This award was based upon Near Term Actions 2018-0219 and 2018-0525 in the Action Agenda for Puget Sound.
