Nearshore Birds in Puget Sound Prepared in support of the Puget Sound Nearshore Partnership

چکیده
ii Nearshore Birds in Puget Sound T he Puget Sound Nearshore Partnership (PSNP) has developed a list of valued ecosystem components (VECs). The list of VECs is meant to represent a cross-section of organisms and physical structures that occupy and interact with the physical processes found in the near-shore. The VECs will help PSNP frame the symptoms of declining Puget Sound nearshore ecosystem integrity, explain how ecosystem processes are linked to ecosystem outputs, and describe the potential benefits of proposed actions in terms that make sense to the broader community. A series of " white papers " was developed that describes each of the VECs. Following is the list of published papers in the series. All papers are available at www.pugetsoundnearshore.org.

Acknowledgments T he Nearshore Science Team (NST) of the Puget Sound Nearshore Project recognized in early discussions the need for a geomorphic framework to guide shoreline restoration planning. These individuals clarified the rationale and the purpose for this document and provided valuable comments on early drafts of the report. This project also benefitted greatly from the input of Washingt...
