Benchmarks

The project is complementary to any future proposal for establishing mooring buoys or other types of mooring systems along the waterfront. The project is also complimentary to the Northwest Maritime Center's proposal to restore eelgrass under/around the planned pier.  

The project achieves the following benchmarks:

Protect productive habitat
Net productive habitat gain
Coordinate scientific data
Coordinate on an effective outreach and education effort
Achieve a scientifically-based, regional system of Marine Protected Areas
