	title = {Sandy Beach Surf Zones: What is their Role in the Early Life History of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus tshawytscha</i>)?},
	year = {2013},
	note = {Estuaries are probably the preferred nurseries for salmon smolts, but many juvenile salmon also use nearby surf zones as nurseries. While much of this doctoral dissertation is concerned with the surf zones, the author did compare salmon smolts in Coos Bay and Alsea Bay with nearby salmon of the same age in surf zones just outside the entrances of the respective bays.  The comparisons show that the surf zones are successful nurseries {\textendash} that fish grow and develop as well in the surf as in the bay {\textendash} and that these locations may offer important evolutionary {\textquotedblleft}safety valves{\textquotedblright} for Chinook salmon.  This work has implications for potential nearshore development.  Jessica Miller was the major professor.},
