This site summarizes biological and physical monitoring of shoreline enhancements at the Olympic Sculpture Park (OSP) in downtown Seattle, WA, USA. A pocket beach and habitat bench were created in shallow nearshore waters of Puget Sound, with a goal of enhancing the armored shorelines to benefit fish and invertebrates, especially for juvenile outmigrating Pacific salmon.
