These steps generally chronological, but not necessarily linear.

9. When characterizing ecosystem-wide processes, we are recommending that you keep in mind the focus should remain on how these processes influence ecological functions AT THE SHORELINE. Extract information from existing reports and studies. Of course you should map your findings.
At this scale you are mapping physical and biological features as well as land uses that have altered processes which may affect the shoreline.

14. Each shoreline has inherent biophysical capabilities and limitations. Key physical characteristics indicate which ecosystem processes formed and maintained each shoreline. It is helpful to classify shorelines into different types based on these physical characteristics.
Classification provides for a better understanding of how the different shorelines types were formed and how susceptible a given shoreline segment is to impacts from various uses.
Because shoreline ecological functions are created and maintained by the flow of water, material (i.e. sediment, large woody debris) and organisms, we may infer the condition of the shoreline by identifying the source, transport and end point of these flows and the extent to which they are interrupted or remain intact.
These classifications are a first step in dividing the shoreline jurisdiction into management reaches based on localized processes. Subsequent steps will firm up these reach breaks and establish environment designation boundaries.
Many existing reports discuss the type of shorelines. Use existing descriptions if they exist.

15. Coastal deposition (accretion) features
occur in areas where the supply of sediment exceeds the amount of sediment removed. Sand or gravel delivered to the coast from rivers or eroding cliffs result in features such as river deltas, marshes, tidal flats, spits, cuspate forelands, and sand dunes. Factors important in the shaping and maintaining of these features include wave/wind energy and direction, seasonal changes in transport patterns, location and flow of rivers and streams.
Erosional features
Coastal erosion is characteristic of parts of the coastal zone with high sandy bluffs, steep slopes of bedrock, sea stacks and caves. Processes that contribute to erosion include quarrying (extraction of rock or sediment due to direct impact of breaking waves), abrasion (grinding of coastal rocks by wave-agitated sand and gravel), weathering and biological factors.

17. After identifying shoreline types and learning about the primary processes influencing each of the types, we suggest segmenting the shorelines into reach breaks for further characterization. Reaches can be considered preliminary environment designation boundaries so we’ll be looking at data about the shorelines on a much more zoomed in scale than at the ecosystem wide view although ecosystem wide issues can inform the position of reach breaks.
If existing reports or analyses identify reaches within your jurisdiction, you can adopt and/or modify them as appropriate for shoreline management.

18. One can use the classification of shoreline types to identify appropriate reach breaks, although generally further splitting or lumping will be necessary.
Break points considerations:
For marine shorelines, changes in drift cell boundaries and landform, sediment and freshwater inputs, fetch and wind orientation.
For rivers, gradient/confinement changes, confluence of streams and tributary input points, land use, zoning, ownership.
For lakes, changes in geomorphic units (changes in slope, surficial geology, fetch, shoreline geometry, and nearshore substrate).
So the shoreline jurisdiction will be divided into management reaches based on localized processes and land use. It is important to document the rationale, which will aid in preparing the summary of ecological functions.

19. This example focuses on the marine shoreline of Quilcene Bay in Jefferson County. This map portrays the drift cells in the bay. We have two cells moving sediment north and then the northern part of the bay has no appreciable drift. We also identified shoreline types using aerial photos and existing reports. (CLICK) Both the SW and SE sides of the bay have eroding bluffs which provide sediment to the northerly drift cells. (CLICK) There are two prominent stream mouths and (CLICK) two river deltas, which are experiencing similar upland issues expressed in the nearshore. These provide fluvial sediments to the northern part of the bay which has no appreciable drift. (CLICK) Because of the river influences, we can classify the entire bay as an estuary.This example focuses on the marine shoreline of Quilcene Bay in Jefferson County.

20. This map also shows the preliminary shoreline jurisdiction boundary in yellow, the NAD zone in red, and the abundant wetlands surrounding the shorelines.
The reach breaks (in purple) were thus identified by lumping similar types, information gathered at the ecosystem wide scale, and physical function based on drift cell information.

Here we’ve overlayed biological information, such as spawning and rearing information, eelgrass locations, and wetlands. Even though we keep upland processes and ecosystem wide issues in mind we focus in to the shoreline jurisdiction (CLICK) at the reach scale. Please do not try to read this summaries. We just want to show the length of summaries that will accompany these maps. (CLICK) The fish and wildlife habitat summary addresses eelgrass location, fish spawning and rearing, the use of birds by the estuary, shellfish information and riparian vegetation information.

The reach breaks here are further verified by the location of the wetlands in the northern part of the bay and the majority of eelgrass also lies within the reach.

31. This example focuses in on Birch Bay in Whatcom County. It is a shoreline of statewide significance. The reach breaks were based on shoreline type (sand-gravel beaches, a stream mouth-Terrell Creek, and feeder bluffs at the SW end). Again, we focus on the shoreline jurisdiciton (CLICK) but keep in mind the ecosystem wide things that influence this shoreline such as the wetlands surrounding Terrell creek, locations of priority species, and the road densities. Also, Terrell Creek is a Priority Habitat for Coho salmon, resident cut-throat, winter steelhead, and sea-run cut-throat. This image points out important issues and features that should be elaborated on in the accompanying narrative for this step.
Areas with which listed species have a primary association are shown in yellow hash. This map shows that continuous eelgrass beds are located in Birch bay and a mix of patchy and continuous beds are found at Cherry Point. Patchy areas of algae and kelp are found in the south part of the reach. Sedqual query turned up DOH study of amount of metals bioaccumulated by shell fish

This map portrays the locations of wetlands and location of revetments (in pink) which are dikes located in the deltas and along the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers. The map also illustrates the wetlands that have been modified by commercial agriculture in the northernmost section of the Bay.
We further illustrate modifications using aerial photos including (CLICK) a causeway that interrupts tidal channels in the lower reaches of Donovan Creek. (CLICK) the marina and shoreline armoring surrounding the marina. (CLICK) An area that is now slated for development and in the 70’s was a logging facility.
