From the start, the group has published a newsletter that provides updates on various nearshore activities (research projects, education activities, and so forth). The newsletter is free and publicly available. Current and previous nearshore consortium newsletters can be downloaded from the current and archived list below.
For proceedings from the spring 2004 workshop, go to the Clallam Marine Resources Committee Website and click News Archive. (The Clallam Marine Resources Committee is a group of local citizens representing the interests of sport and commercial fishing, environmental, conservation, tribes, cities, and local government agencies in reducing natural resource degradation in Clallam County.)
The Elwha Nearshore Consortium held its most recent annual meeting at Peninsula College in Port Angeles on 8 January 2009, during which the group identified a number of additional priorities for 2009. Priorities include defining linkages in estuarine and shoreline nearshore sediment delivery processes, Lidar mapping of high bluff beaches in the Elwha and comparative drift cells, continued long term monitoring and detailed study of fish use of the nearshore Elwha and comparative drift cells, focused assessment of cross regional linkages of salmonid use of the nearshore, and modeling of physical habitat processes and biological function of the Elwha nearshore, including beaches and estuaries. ENC priorities should provide clear guidance to regional entities action planners on priorities for restoration, research, and education for achieving local and cross regional scale restoration in the Salish Sea.
