1.0 Introduction |
The City of Bainbridge Island (COBI) is in need of a tool to inventory and assess the conditions of its marine shorelines. Current data gaps point to a need for a comprehensive assessment of shoreline conditions before decision-making under planning and regulatory programs may proceed effectively. Ultimately, this information will allow planners to assess levels of development impact and resource quality over discrete shoreline management areas (MAs), which will assist with permitting issues and prioritization of areas for conservation and restoration.
