Clayton Beach Eelgrass Restoration Feasibility and Design
HSIL23-23962
Northwest Straits Marine Foundation (NWSF) and partners are currently assessing the feasibility of removing 1,300 linear feet (LF) of rock armor and remnant pilings from the nearshore at Clayton Beach. During the initial investigation and collection of historic photos, it was determined that a 13-acre unvegetated dredge hole was present immediately offshore of the shoreline restoration site. This project will investigate feasibility and design to restore 13 acres of native eelgrass located within a historic dredged area at Clayton Beach, Samish Bay. The data collection and investigation will inform a feasibility study and design report and provide necessary background information to support submission of permit applications for future implementation.
