Intertidal Monitoring - Summaries

With the ebb and flow of the tides, as well as human-induced events, the Island County beaches are continuously changing. Intertidal monitoring has been developed to assist in determining these changes. Using this field-tested monitoring protocol, trained volunteers collect baseline data over time at specific monitoring sites. The data collected includes beach slope, substrate, and biodiversity.

Here you'll find archived highlights about Beach Watchers' Intertidal Monitoring activities and our Intertidal Monitoring Procedures manual.
