The Nearshore PRISM Working Group (NearPRISM) is composed of UW Scientists and technical personnel from state and local government resource management agencies.
NearPRISM' goal is to develop a technical understanding of estuarine and nearshore processes and environments that can be integrated into the emerging PRISM synthesis of the Puget Sound Basin.
One of our specific objectives is to model the influences of nearshore physical processes, such as sediment dynamics and long-shore circulation, on associated nearshore ecological processes and structures.
Ultimately, we seek to better understand and predict the consequences of human activity on Puget Sound watersheds, estuaries and nearshores.
