I continue each year to conduct long-term monitoring research with the Nearshore Habitat Program of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Several sites in Puget Sound are monitored each summer, and additional time is spent on particular projects of interest that vary from year to year. For example, in recent years we have spend time monitoring shoreline change at the mouth of the un-dammed Elwha River.
