primary shoreline types observed on Puget Sound and dis-cusses the close relationship between geomorphic processes and landforms and how this influences ecosystems. The character and distribution of nearshore landforms on Puget Sound is a function of the complex shape and geol-ogy of the coastline, along with the subsequent erosion and
This report proposes a conceptual classification of Puget Sound nearshore landforms that is hierarchical, that reflects the primary role of geomorphic processes in shaping the landscape and that is relevant to the unique setting of Puget Sound.
Puget Sound occupies a complex glacial landscape dominated by a steep, irregular coastline, eroding bluffs, and mixed sand and gravel beaches. The wave environment is fetch-limited and wave action is often oblique to the shoreline, emphasizing
Puget Sound and Georgia Strait form an inland sea that straddles the U.S.-Canadian border and that lies within a north-south trending depression separated from the Pacific Ocean by the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island.
