Came across this new-to-me coastal monitoring system while poling around the York River area
Analyzing results from a recently completed data-driven sea level rise vulnerability analysis for Puget Sound. Places like this, on the west side of Whidbey Island, knock the index out of the park. I can't say I'm surprised.
These sorts of massive reconfigurations of the nearshore are ubiquitous in urban areas of the Salish Sea and they are, to this day, key drivers of ecosystem function and coastal climate vulnerability

'Climate and equity must be firmly part of every decision we make' - heard today from a leader at a King County staff workshop. @WASeaGrant
The USGS R/V Frontier, our trusty platform for another year of diving, measuring how the marine community responds to dam removals and other things...check out the sites at elwhanearshore.ocean.washington.edu. @WASeaGrant
Ediz Hook at the distal end of the Elwha littoral cell, beautifully nourished by removal of the Elwha dams. But a long history of industrial uses, like the exposed water line in the foreground, requires continued interventions on the shoreline
Bluff erosion at Kalaloch, Olympic National Park. Erosion like this is really hard to manage when structures are so close to the edge. @WASeaGrant
A peek-a-boo glimpse of glacial/interglacial sequences at Yellow Banks on the wild Olympic coast. @WASeaGrant
The 14th year of diving with the Elwha Interagency Dive Team drew to a close last week...what a phenomenal opportunity it has been for me. @WASeaGrant
Brown Pelican at Sequim Bay....thoroughly inside the Salish Sea
Nothing better than needing out with @NSF-funded CoPes researchers along the Washington coast...perhaps the only thing better is learning from legendary locals about their innovative coastal management approaches
Finally after all the years I have the chance to join @WASeaGrant legend Jeff Adams on the beach for some of the best kind of nerdery.
Nature-based features for shoreline protection? How about this massive pile of HUGE wood pieces on the eroding upper beach of Rialto, Olympic National Park. Stacked up against dead and dying standing trees...

Here’s a question: with sea levels on the rise, would you be comfortable investing your money in a home by the beach? Dr. Ian Miller of the Washington Sea Grant program, based at the University of...
