This outreach project’s purpose was to help a variety of audiences learn about healthy beach systems and their benefit as habitat for wildlife as well as for humans. We reached beach visitors, shoreline landowners, interested citizens, students and families. Key messages: • Restoration is important both ecologically and environmentally. • Beaches, bluffs, and streams are interconnected, beautiful, and sensitive to development Interpretative signage Two large weatherproof signs will be installed at the public beach access point at the 3 Crabs restoration site. Outreach events: site tours We led 2 project site tours, one during construction and another at a completed nearshore restoration site in Sequim Bay. Public presentations and workshops We held a 6-session class for interested citizens. o Class curriculum will focus on nearshore ecology and human impacts, including: § Nearshore geomorphology and ecology § Salmonid ecology, marine birds, mammals, shellfish, and other fishes § Water quality, riparian habitats and upland influences on nearshore habitats, including storm water and agricultural land use § Regulation, key guiding laws, permitting, and public input § Case studies of individual landowners taking action to improve shoreline armoring conditions, as well as landscape-scale restoration § Field trips to other nearshore restoration sites. § Volunteer opportunities o In recruiting participants for the class, we specifically focused on shoreline landowners as well as reached out to the general public.
