Successful Shoreline Workshop for Realtors
The MRC, Northwest Straits Foundation and WSU Extension joined forces to sponsor a very successful 'Understanding Beach and Bluff Properties' workshop for realtors in Port Hadlock on Oct 26th. Over 30 professionals from Jefferson and Clallam Counties attended this all-day workshop, which also earned them clock hours for license recertification. Realtors are often the first contact for people looking to buy or sell waterfront properties. The more they understand about coastal processes, risks and best practices for shoreline vegetation and management, the more they can share with their clients. Four workshops were offered (Anacortes, Coupeville, Stanwood and here), with funding was provided by an EPA grant through the Marine Nearshore Grant program.
