	note = {An attractive climate relative to the rest of the state and nation draws more people to the Oregon Coast. Longer, drier summers bring more tourists, more forest fires and less available freshwater. Heavier winter rains bring more flooding and erosion events. Higher water temperatures cause the ranges of animals (terrestrial and aquatic) to change, increase toxic algae blooms, kill salmon and stress Dungeness crabs. Increasing ocean acidity stresses shellfish. More intense winter storms and higher sea levels threaten infrastructure.  These are some of the consequences of climate change outlined in this excellent report.  One of the more valuable aspects of this comprehensive look at climate change in our area is extensive quotations from local residents.  Good information on the Coos Bay and Newport areas.  This report is highly recommended. },

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the mouth restricts exchange with the ocean to the spring high tides, essentially acting as a micro-fjord (C. Brown, unpublished data).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

For about two miles up this stream the bottoms are narrow and covered with a thick growth of spruce timber. . . Still below the Yahuts is a belt of prairie on which are numerous shell mounds marking the location of Indian camps, for perhaps hundreds of years past." (p.502)},
