	note = {Many of Oregon{\textquoteright}s coastal streams and wetlands have tide gates.  This publication is intended to help natural resource managers decide how to treat existing tide gates in order to help migratory fishes and other estuary residents. Should the tide gates be removed, or can they be upgraded to better allow fish passage?  The report has two main sections. {\textquotedblleft}The first includes an overview of the technical aspects of tide gates, including non-traditional ones. The second contains findings from a review of scientific literature about upgrading or removing tide gates as well as conclusions from a review of estuary restoration projects involving tide gates. Based on those findings, we{\textquoteright}re also including recommendations to guide future investments in, and monitoring of, restoration projects associated with tide gates{\textquotedblright} (p.3).},

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the mouth restricts exchange with the ocean to the spring high tides, essentially acting as a micro-fjord (C. Brown, unpublished data).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)},
