Notes

  • WRIA 18 includes Dungeness River and Elwha Watershed and many small streams between entering the Strait of Juan de Fuca
  • Haring also provides a summary of nearshore limiting factors
    • Hiss 1994 completed a beach seine study in Dungeness Bay in 1992 and 1993.
    • 90% of the shoreline between Morse Creek and the Elwha River has been armored.
    • Construction of a waterfront trail east from Port Angeles Harbor on the old railroad grade left extensive armoring intact.
