  2. Project Area • 92 miles • 52 miles rural (48% armored) • 40 miles urban (83% armored)

  4. Location of changes in 2012 and 2013

  5. What type of changes were seen? 53% of all categories of armoring Red numbers are the % of each change found on Vashon/Maury 69% 100% 73%

  6. How many and what type had no apparent effect?

  7. Did change in condition have a City or County permit?

  8. Did change in condition have a City or County permit, continued Overall compliance rate Overall compliance rate

  9. Enforcement • Original intent was to track enforcement outcomes of unpermitted changes • Time constraints did not allow a thorough evaluation of enforcement activities

  10. Take Aways • Between 2005 and June 2013 ~1500 feet of shoreline armoring was removed via restoration projects ~1570 feet of new shoreline armoring was constructed

  11. Take Aways • Between 2005 and June 2013 More trees and shrubs are being cleared along the shoreline than are being replanted/restored or naturally re-establishing—continuing a decline noted in 2012 WRIA Status and Trends report

  12. Take Aways • Most of the changes involved repairs to existing infrastructure • Relatively low compliance rate on Vashon/Maury (18%) compared to mainland jurisdictions (52%) and2 other studies-Bainbridge (80%) & San Juan (50%) • Did not attempt to answer why people are or aren’t getting permits
