What Is Your Vision for the Future for the County's Shorelines?

You've no doubt heard about the upcoming Shoreline Master Plan workshops to be held on the 3 major islands. Please try to attend one of these important meetings!
San Juan Island: Tue. Sept. 20, Grange, 1-4 pm and 5-8 pm
Orcas: Wed. Sept. 21, Orcas Center, 5-8 pm
Lopez: Thu. Sept. 22, Lopez Community Center, 5-8 pm.

Here are links to more detailed articles on the subject: http://sanjuanislander.com/ and http://www.sanjuanco.com/smp/default.aspx. This is our best opportunity to let the County hear our "Vision" for what we would like our shorelines to be like 25 years from now.

The County would also like us to send shoreline photos that we think represent our hope for the future, and also photos of things we don't want to see more of in the future. Photos should be emailed to: colinm@sanjuanco.com.

How many times as a Beach Watcher have you been asked something like: "Have you watched any good beaches lately?" And in addition to all the research and stewardship projects we do, yes, we also notice what is happening on our beaches. We now have a great opportunity to let the County know what we're seeing, and what we would like to see in the future, by sending photos, and participating in one of the meetings.
