PMEP Steering and Science & Data Committee members visited five nearshore restoration sites in September when they held their annual meeting in Bellingham, Washington. The projects were led by the Northwest Straits Foundation and included the removal of hard shoreline armoring from both privately owned and public shorelines. Shown here are Lisa Kaufman, from the Northwest Stratis Foundation, and two private landowners who voluntarily removed armoring from their shoreline to restore habitat.
