This project will develop baseline physical and biological conditions of the natural and altered nearshore and estuarine features/habitats of Bainbridge Island's 45 miles of shoreline and 8 estuaries. The project will identify opportunities for habitat preservation and restoration and strategically prioritize them. The prioritized projects will effect recovery of listed chinook salmon, and other salmonid species that forage in the nearshore environment. The project will serve as an implementation tool in Bainbridge Island's land use policy development/modification. The project will help target shoreline public education and outreach programs. The project will characterize present and historic coastal drift (net shore-drift) patterns and the degree of discontinuity that shoreline modifications have created. Properly functioning conditions will be determined by tying coastal geology and biology (targeted fish species) and fisheries habitat distribution (quantity and quality). By assessing properly functioning conditions within drift cells such as feeder bluffs, substrate and riparian and aquatic habitat, this project will provide baseline information that is imperative to monitor the success of future preservation and restoration efforts. Due to the nature of the project, it is necessary for some activities to take place over four seasons. Partnership efforts are being discussed with King county nearshore Technical group, the Suquamish Tribe, and Kitsap County.
