Use of Large Wood in Shoreline Restoration
This study will develop information to improve performance of process-based shoreline restoration designs that incorporate or naturally recruit large wood (LW) on Puget Sound beaches. This work builds upon previous design guidance developed by NSD for LW in fluvial systems. A comprehensive literature and data review will be completed to identify parameters important to LW retention and stability on Puget Sound beaches. Field data will be collected and analyzed to determine which parameters drive LW recruitment and function in the nearshore. This information will be used to develop design considerations for use of LW to facilitate recruitment in shoreline restoration projects.
