Mapping
Map of Marine Resources in Island County
There is a now a web-based interactive map of marine resources for Island County!
You can view intertidal & subtidal habitats, shore types, marine animal distributions, & much more with the click of a mouse. You can zoom in or out, or measure distances & areas by single-clicking on the toolbar above the map.
Detailed information about a location can be obtained by drawing a rectangle (use "Select Extent" tool) or a polygon ("Select Polygon" tool) around the area of interest - a Beach Report opens with a list of Points of Interest.
Sources of data associated with each Point of Interest, such as MRC research reports or WSU Extension’s "Getting to the Water's Edge", can be accessed by clicking on the link. This is the initial phase of the website, with updates & more data to be added in the coming year.
The website is sponsored by the Island County Marine Resources Committee & the Northwest Straits
Commission, with substantial assistance by Island County's Planning, Public Works, & Health departments, Island County's Shoreline Master Plan update, & Island County WSU Extension.
