	year = {2017},
	note = {This study tracks possible conditions for Oregon coastal wetlands under six possible sea level rise scenarios between 2017 and 2160.  {\textquotedblleft}If tidal wetland plant communities are unable to survive the increased inundation associated with sea level rise, they will have to move to higher ground through dispersal of seeds, roots, or rhizomes. This process is called "landward migration," and the areas that could become future tidal wetlands are called {\textquotedblleft}landward migration zones{\textquotedblright} (LMZs) in this study.{\textquotedblright} (p.5) Potential landward migration zones are mapped. Maps, charts, color photographs. This document is accompanied by maps, a PowerPoint presentation, a file of geospatial data, and a poster. {\textquotedblleft}Prepared for: MidCoast Watersheds Council, Newport, Oregon.{\textquotedblright}  {\textquotedblleft}With assistance from: Fran Recht, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission.{\textquotedblright}  },

	note = {This report consists of two sections, one on the impact of climate change and its associated sea level rise on Oregon{\textquoteright}s beaches, and another on the impact on Oregon tidelands and estuaries. {\textquotedblleft}Two background sections on the expected impacts from predicted sea level rise on the Oregon coast were prepared for Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}Coastal Climate Change Adaptation Project . . . . The two sections are developed for broad distribution to coastal residents, community leaders, government agencies, and other interested parties. The two non-technical sections use geometric or gradient change approaches to illustrate potential impacts of shoreline retreat and tideland submergence under conditions of accelerated global sea level rise, as predicted for the next century or two.{\textquotedblright} (from the Introduction)},

	year = {2009},
	note = {"This report describes a pilot effort at classifying PNW estuaries with regards to landscape attributes and their susceptibility to nutrient enrichment."  Much data is presented. Although the report focuses on seven estuaries (Alsea, Coos Bay, Nestucca, Salmon River, Tillamook Bay, Umpqua and Yaquina), many other estuaries are mentioned, and basic statistical data is given for all PNW estuaries.  The Yachats River is classified as a "tidal creek.""...an ongoing study of the Yachats River indicates that the formation of a sill near the mouth restricts exchange with the ocean to the spring high tides, essentially acting as a micro-fjord (C. Brown, unpublished data). This oceanic water advected during spring tides can form localized pockets of deeper, saline waters below a freshwater surface layer. With no or minimal exchange or turnover, the dissolved oxygen in these saline pockets declines until the next spring tide or storm." (p.44)},
