The authors used lidar digital elevation models and other elevation models to develop new maps of current and historical wetlands on the United States West Coast. Their work shows that about 85\% of historical wetlands have been lost, with most losses near major river deltas. {\textquotedblleft}The new maps will help interested groups improve action plans for estuarine wetland habitat restoration and conservation, and will also provide a better baseline for understanding and predicting future changes with projected sea level rise{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).},

	note = {This is a final essay by a candidate for a Master{\textquoteright}s degree in Public Policy. The author examined Pacific Northwest coastal communities in order to determine which were economically dependent on the fishing industry and might, therefore, be vulnerable to changes in fishing policies and regulations.  {\textquotedblleft}Place-based data from the U.S. decennial census, American Community Survey, NOAA Fisheries, state fish and wildlife agencies, and a myriad of additional sources are included in a factor analysis to identify communities engaged in and reliant on commercial fishing, and to derive indicators of social vulnerability. Using these indicators, 18 communities along the west coast were identified as having high levels of both commercial fishing dependence and social vulnerability, although the drivers varied among communities.{\textquotedblright} (from the abstract) Major professor was Denise Lach.},
