    Project Description    
Pierce Conservation District (PCD) will complete a feasibility study, conceptual design alternatives, and preliminary (permit-ready) design for shoreline armor removal at the Tacoma DeMolay Sandspit Nature Preserve. The Preserve, located at the northern tip of Fox Island in Pierce County, is a Peninsula Metropolitan Park District property with over 2,000 ft of public shoreline, approximately 600 ft of which is armored with concrete bulkhead and debris. Important habitat features on site include eelgrass beds, barrier embayment, and documented surf smelt spawning habitat along the entirety of the Preserve (WDFW 2013).

This bulkhead removal is identified as a priority nearshore project by the West Sound Lead Entity to support priority species including juvenile Puget Sound Chinook and forage fish. Shoreline armor removal will restore degraded sediment processes, reconnect mature shoreline vegetation, improve public access, support critical habitat for priority species, and act as a demonstration site for the Shore Friendly program. As a demonstration site, the project will offer Pierce County residents a local example of multi-benefit nearshore restoration.
