MyCoast

OVERVIEW

Washington MyCoast started as a project of the Snohomish Marine Resources Committee to engage beachgoers and provide a way for them to share information about local conditions with decision-makers and stakeholders.

MyCoast expanded statewide as a partnership with Washington Department of Natural Resources, in collaboration with other project partners, including US Geological Survey, Washington Sea Grant, the Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee, and the Northwest Straits Initiative.

WHAT WE'RE DOING

Information collected through this web-based application is used to characterize the impact of nearshore hazards and to enhance awareness among decision-makers and stakeholders.

Users anywhere on the shoreline in Washington can now report using one of the tools currently activated:
• Take a beach photo – Contribute to time-lapse photos of our beaches
• Creosote – Documenting creosote debris
• Large marine debris – Capturing large marine debris
• Abandoned boat – Documenting forgotten vessels
• King tide – Tracking the highest tides
• Storm surge – Evaluating storm surge
