Shoreline & coastal management
Washington's ocean and shorelines are integral to the regions character, quality of life, and economic viability. We work in partnership to protect and restore important habitats and ocean resources, keep water clean, reduce risk from coastal hazards, preserve important areas for water-dependent uses, and provide opportunities for public access to shorelines.
We pursue this mission through education and training, collaborative planning, technical assistance, scientific research, and program improvements. We invite you to explore our efforts and participate in helping us manage Washington's important ocean and shoreline.
