This program is designed to help the regulated, the regulators, tribal members and conservationists navigate issues facing Washington’s Shorelines. It will offer a detailed overview of the permitting process and ways to resolve problems with competing uses of marine waters.
Activities in shoreline environments can trigger overlapping and sometimes inconsistent local, state and federal regulations, as well as consideration of tribal treaty rights. These layers of regulation can equally impact developments ranging from small residential activities to large public infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, regulators and treaty tribes are tasked with balancing the many legitimate uses of the state’s shorelines with the protection and presentation of the abundant natural resources located in shoreline areas.
Please join us as we explore the issues that impact the development, conservation and regulation of Washington’s river, lake and marine shorelines.
