Because the rail lines cut off <br /> sediment deposition from natural bluff erosion, the <br /> beach has eroded away, much to the detriment of <br /> the local marine ecology. - , -. <br /> The construction of a shoreline terrace, beach <br /> restoration, and a public access trail is proposed <br /> to provide a link between Mukilteo and Everett and _ <br /> y�-- -ter <br /> to enhance the shoreline ecology. Restoring Looking north from Howarth Park. <br /> the beach will likely increase forage fish (A typical rock revetment is shown in the <br /> spawning opportunities, intertidal habitat, background.
