Washington States San Juan Islands are home to much of the regions healthy and intact nearshore habitat providing significant food, shelter and migratory services to numerous marine species including endangered salmon, sea birds and whale populations.
Shoreline property owners play an important role in the stewardship of the regions nearshore environment. Landowner actions have a direct impact on the health of eelgrass, forage fish, salmon and orca resources.
The goal of FRIENDS Shoreline Stewardship Program is to inform San Juan County shoreline property owners and land use professionals about the biological importance of the land, improve management at priority sites and increase compliance with existing shoreline protection policies. When funding allows, FRIENDS also provides technical assistance to property owners. |
