In this one-day class, you will gain familiarity with the contents and use of the Marine Shoreline Design Guidelines (MSDG). These guidelines address the design of alternative options for shoreline protection. The course will emphasize how to conduct a site assessment and alternatives analysis, along with a high-level overview of the permitting issues associated with these types of projects. Examples will be explored for different techniques to address shoreline protection. You will learn how to use a checklist approach to analyze alternative shoreline protection options. While not required, it would benefit you to have a familiarity with the basic understanding of shoreline processes as taught in the Coastal Training Program course "Puget Sound Coastal Process, Shoreline Modifications, and Beach Restoration." (6.5 CM Credits/CEP Points)


Lunch is provided.
