In 1997, Scott Hansen, a founder of PCRS, began monitoring the Puget Creek Beach while working with the Pierce County Water Programs through Citizen Shoreline Inventory. By 2002, Citizens for a Healthy Bay (CHB) had partnered with PCRS and volunteers from the Adopt-a-Wildlife-Area Program in monitoring Puget Creek Beach.

 

In 2004, PCRS began monitoring the beach as a solo project. Methodology includes a monthly monitoring of changes to the beach, documenting wildlife, and taking "photo point" pictures (pictures taken from the same location and direction) to document the area. We are currently developing a more detailed protocol for our volunteers to use while monitoring the beach between C.J. Shenanigans and Katie Downs restaurants.
