Shoreline Signage

To raise awareness of the assets of our nearshore and to instill an ethic of stewardship in residents and visitors, we have installed interpretive signage at 18 locations along the Island County shoreline.

A generic Saratoga Passage or Admiralty Inlet Marine Stewardship Area panel is displayed at almost every location to explain marine stewardship and shoreline processes. At many sites, additional MRC signs are displayed alongside the generic sign to provide more detailed information about the history or attributes of the specific location.
