If you are a Marine Waterfront Property Owner in Kitsap County and have a bulkhead that you have contemplated removing but are concerned about the feasibility of removal, possible erosion, and want to find out more about alternative options – please submit a site visit request!
Shore Friendly Kitsap Site Visit Information
Shore Friendly Kitsap offers free site assessments to marine shoreline landowners who are interested in restoring their property. We help answer general questions about erosion, permitting, and Shore Friendly options
Priority is given to those interested in removing a bulkhead or hard armor, but we are happy to visit unarmored properties and assist when possible. For those qualified and seriously interested in restoration after the initial site visit, we do offer more targeted, in-depth geologic site assessments from a licensed coastal geologist
One of our staff members will reach out with the next steps and scheduling information once the site visit application has been reviewed.

Geologic Site Assessment Information
Shore Friendly Kitsap partners with Natural System Design (NSD) and Herrera to offer free geologic site assessments conducted by professional geologists. This opportunity is for individuals who are interested in removing their marine bulkhead and transitioning to a naturalized shoreline.
A geologic site assessment helps property owners better understand the shoreline conditions at their property, including coastal processes and erosion considerations. The assessment also provides information that can help determine whether a shoreline restoration project is feasible and identify potential next steps.
Both consulting teams have experience conducting shoreline assessments and working on coastal projects throughout the Puget Sound region. Their assessments provide property-specific recommendations to help landowners make informed decisions about their shoreline.
