Where can I find information on the science related to buffers and protecting marine shoreline habitat?
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Aquatic Habitat Guidelines has several useful documents that can be downloaded, including Protection of Marine Riparian Habitats in Puget Sound, Washington and Protecting Nearshore Habitat and Functions in Puget Sound, An Interim Guide. Another useful document is Marine Riparian Vegetation Communities of Puget Sound prepared by the Washington Sea Grant Program. Another is the Proceedings of the DFO / PSAT Sponsored Marine Riparian Experts Workshop, Tsawwassen, British Columbia, Feb. 17-18, 2004.
