- Coastal Training Program (CTP)
- The Department of Ecology offers courses on managing coastal, estuarine, and wetland
resources through the Coastal Training Program (CTP). The CTP is coordinated by several
agencies to provide practical, science-based training to professionals who make decisions
about coastal management in Washington State. The program is administered through the
Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which is part of the Department of Ecology and NOAA.
- The PNW Chapter of the Society of Wetland Scientists
occasionally offers training or workshops on wetland topics. For example,
they offered two
Field Indicators of Hydric Soils workshops in Spring 2009. The workshops provided brief background information on soil morphology, genesis,
soil & water relationships, and soil chemistry important to hydric soil
formation. They also focused on standard techniques for describing and
interpreting hydric soil morphological characteristics - “the soil tells a
story…”. Visit the PNW Chapter SWS
web page for information on upcoming classes.
