Native Marine Shoreline Plants
The pictures below represent many of the common native plant species found along marine shorelines in South Puget Sound.  All of the plants below play an important role on the shoreline by stabilizing slopes and banks with their roots, by helping to manage rain water and shallow groundwater, and by providing food, shelter and cover for local wildlife.   We are also extremely fortunate that so many of them are beautiful landscaping plants!
