The above -referenced Contract between the State of Washington, Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW); and Jefferson County is hereby amended as follows:
AMEND 6greement Section — E I Compensation/Payment
The Agreement value is increased by $59,054.45 for work authorized under this Amendment.
This Amendment brings the AWARD allowed under this Agreement to $139,054.45.
AMEND Attachment C I Statement of Work
New Tasks numbered 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are added under this Amendment.
PROJECTS -TASK 2: COASTSAVERS: COORDINATION OF COASTWIDE BEACH CLEANUPS AND 'OUTREACH
Through its CoastSavers program, Discover Your Northwest (DYNW) will organize volunteers and provide logistical
support to conduct the Washington Coast Cleanup (WCC) on April 21, 2018 and the International Coastal Cleanup
(ICC) on September 20, 2018, The recovered materials will be properly disposed of or recycled. The goal of beach
cleanups is to spare Washington's Pacific coastal environment and wildlife from the dangers of household plastics,
lost fishing gear, and other types of marine debris that accumulates on beaches, The events will be well publicized
through standard media outlets and social media. This task addresses the program benchmarks Marine Habitats,
Coastal Communities and Education and Outreach by engaging local residents and visitors with an important
opportunity to assist in stewarding beaches on the north Pacific coast, COST: $10,000
PROJECT TASK 3: JEFFERSON COUNTY — FORKS RAI NFEST EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
In April of 2018 and 2019, Jefferson County and the North Pacific Coast MRC will collaborate with local arts groups
and Washington Sea Grant to produce RainFest events and activities in association with the Washington Coast
Cleanup, The MRC will work with multiple partners to produce the River & Ocean Days Film Festival and related
activities linked to coastal environments and the beach cleanups. This task meets the Education and Outreach
benchmark by "translating and disseminating scientific information about the status of Washington's coastal habitats,
resources, and communities to regional policy makers, resource managers, and the public in a timely manner” and,
the Coastal Communities benchmark by "encouraging citizen participation in local and governmental decisions
regarding marine resources. COST: $2,000
PROJECTTASK4: NEWSLETTER
Jefferson County Environmental Public Health will produce two issues of the West End Natural Resources News.
The newsletter incorporates an ecosystem based management theme and includes articles about marine and coastal
resources and salmon recovery. It will profile NPC MRC projects, including beach clean-ups, student involvement in
citizen science project and other coast -related activities and events such as RainFest. This task meets the Education
and Outreach benchmark by "translating and disseminating scientific information about the status of Washington's
coastal habitats, resources, and communities to regional policy makers, resource managers, and the public in a

timely manner" and, the Coastal Communities benchmark by "encouraging citizen participation in local and
governmental decisions regarding marine resources, COST: $8,000
PROJECT TASK 5: SHORELINE DYNAMICS ON THE OLYMPIC COAST: WHAT DOES "NORMAL" MEAN?
Washington Sea Grant will conduct opportunistic beach morphology monitoring and develop a report describing
observed changes and characterize seasonal cycles of erosion and accretion at two shoreline reaches selected from
the following: Kalaloch Beach, Rialto Beach, First Beach, Second Beach, Norwegian or Hobuck Beach, The beaches
will be sampled at least once every two months for a year or longer. The purpose of the program is to build a long-
term shoreline morphology dataset, Time-lapse photography will be collected and analyzed for each beach site, This
task addresses the Coast MRC Program benchmarks Marine Habitats by surveying marine resources to better define
physical characteristics of intertidal beach habitats; understanding and evaluating erosion; and promoting sound
sediment management practices. COST: $6,452
PROJECTT 1(6: ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF INVASIVE EUROPEAN GREEN CRAB CARCINUS MAENUS IN THE
WA'ATCH RIVER AND Tsoo-YESS RIVER ESTUARIES, MAKAH RAY, WA
Makah will conduct twice -monthly trapping of invasive European green crab to gather information on the extent of
crab infestation, estimate the abundance of crabs in the project area, and remove with the intent to reduce or
eradicate on the Makah Reservation, European green crap is considered one of the world's worst invasive species
and are predators of native bivalve, Catch data collected will be contributed to the Washington Sea Grant Crab Team
database for the period of May through September 2018. This project directly addresses the Marine Life benchmark
by designing and implementing a project to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species. Our project also
directly addresses the Sound Science benchmark to collect high quality data utilizing established scientific protocols,
COST: $7,280
PROJECT TASK 7: OCEAN SCIENCE WORKSHOP
Over four days in late July and early August, OCNMS and PEI educators will hold a workshop for approximately
fifteen teachers from coastal school districts, in particular Cape Flattery, Quillayute Valley, Quileute Tribal School and
Queets Clearwater, at the Olympic Natural Resources Center in Forks to explore how human activity may be
impacting local marine ecosystems. Teachers will become familiar with plankton sampling, discover differences in
types and abundances of harmful algal blooms (HABS) and evaluate the impacts of HABS on the resilience of
coastal communities and potential actions needed to reduce those impacts, Participants will practice bona fide
scientific protocols while performing plankton tows from the beach and evaluating samples under microscopes, This
project meets the Education and Outreach benchmark by conducting a high-quality educational program that will
ultimately benefit hundreds of students, The plankton and data analysis is consistent with the benchmark Sound
Science. COST: $6,991
PROJECTTAS:K $: LIFE HISTORY AND DEATH HISTORY: WHAT CAN BEACH BIRDS TELL US ABOUT SEABIRD POPULATIONS IN
WASHINGTON?
The project will leverage previous and other funded Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) work
to extend analyses of the existing COASST dataset to generate precise deposition and mortality estimates
associated with mass beaching events along the north outer coast, The intent is to use the outcomes of this work to
share the stories of COASST data with participants, resource managers and the public at large. The results will
provide the first-ever regional assessment of unusual beaching events of marine birds, the associated mortality toll,
and related environmental conditions, Outlets for these results will include peer-reviewed publications, a series of
blog entries, newsletters, public talks and integration into the COASST training. The project addresses the
benchmarks Marine Life, Sound Science, Education and Outreach and Coastal Communities by leveraging a large
science project to inform resource management and the public while directly engaging coastal residents.
