Project Description: Permanent protection will be provided for Gibson, South, Travis and Paradise Cove Spits, all clustered near the entrances to WA Harbor and Sequim Bay, along with the 5.2 miles of coastal feeder bluffs that support the spits. Protection will be accomplished using conservation easements, property purchases, and state land management planning. Protected habitat includes 5.2 miles of feeder bluff shoreline, 23,560 feet of spit shoreline, 269 acres of marine shallow water and estuarine habitat, and the productive 10-mile shoreline of the 3,200-acre Sequim Bay. Preserving the health of these spits is essential for the continued existence of WA Harbor, Paradise Cove and the productive geomorphology of Sequim Bay. The project will occur in the following phases: 1) measure bluff erosion rates, 2) develop a conservation plan, including public outreach 3) design conservation measures, 4) relocate infrastructure and buildings, and 5) purchase conservation easements and property.
