Feeder bluffs and coastal landforms<br />
There are many different ways to classify shorelines, but we’ve chosen a system that divides <strong>the</strong><br />
coast up into <strong>the</strong> following landforms: Beaches (Bluffs and Spits), Rocky Shorelines, Large River<br />
Deltas, Small Lagoons and Estuaries, Artificial Shorelines.<br />
The mapping was carried out as part of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Puget</strong> <strong>Sound</strong> Feeder Bluff project and is based on<br />
field observations, aerial photography, geologic and topographic maps, and o<strong>the</strong>r sources.<br />
The classification used in <strong>the</strong>se maps is based in part on work done by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Puget</strong> <strong>Sound</strong><br />
Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP). Additional information on coastal<br />
landforms can be found at: <strong>Puget</strong> <strong>Sound</strong> Coastal Landforms<br />
