Discovery Bay Ecosystem
1008 and 1009 converge to form the Beckett Point Beach Ecosystem, and SPU 1014 and 1015 converge, forming the Diamond Point Beach Ecosystem, framing the mouth of Discovery Bay. Within the bay, SPU 1012 and 1013 converge at Contractors Creek forming the Contractors Point Beach Ecosystem. A number of significant barrier-type embayments are embedded in these three beach complexes, all still present, although degraded to varying degrees, excepting the Cape George site which has been converted to a marina. In general, shoreline armoring is relatively low and shoreline development focussed at the mouth of the bay, and in the Snow-Salmon Estuary.
The Chimacum Creek-Port Townsend Bay Ecosystem is located to the northeast, Jimmycomelately-Sequim Bay Ecosystem to the west. Over the divide to the south are the Quilcene and Tarboo ecosystems.
