PORT ANGELES — A state fish biologist and representatives of two environmental groups pitched a plan Monday to create a state park between Port Angeles and Sequim.
Representatives of the Surfrider Foundation and Pacific Woodrush said the acquisition of 312 acres of coastal bluff forestland at the mouth of Siebert Creek would not only secure public access to shorelines, but would prevent development that could lead to the possible long-term destruction of Dungeness Spit.
“Marine bluffs are important because they are the reason we have Dungeness Spit,” Randy Johnson, longtime marine biologist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Port Angeles office told Clallam County commissioners Monday.
Commissioners took no action on the proposal.
