Continue and enhance the monitoring of local and regional erosion from coastal storms and their impacts on the landscape and coastal infrastructure. Monitoring current high tide elevations and extents, impacts of storms, and long-term erosion rates can help to improve understanding of the rate of coastal change and provide support for both immediate short-term responses and longer term changes. Continuing to support the monitoring work already being done by the Tribe and the Department of Ecology, while also thinking of ways to improve or enhance the work, is also important. The Tribe could consider developing and setting thresholds for various adaptation actions. For example, the Tribe could continue to protect certain shoreline infrastructure until a particular threshold is met (e.g. number of times restoration or enhancement is required, a particular sea level rise elevation is surpassed, etc.) at which point the Tribe moves onto a subsequent action could involve additional enhancement efforts or relocation of the infrastructure instead of further protection.
