	note = {This is a look at habitats in the surf zone just outside three Oregon estuaries.  The authors examine flat surf areas and troughs caused by sandbars to see what species are distributed in the troughs and flats.  They found significant differences.  The authors also found an interesting difference with the beach just outside Alsea Bay, in contrast with Coos and Tillamook bays.  {\textquotedblleft}The fish and macroinvertebrate community present in Alsea Surf was most distinct among beaches. This observation may be because Alsea Surf was the only beach that was located immediately adjacent (~ 500 m) to an estuary that does not have a jetty at its mouth. The lack of a jetty may account for the differences observed among beaches as jetties may alter water and sand circulation, and reduce movement of estuarine species between estuaries and adjacent surf zones . . .{\textquotedblright} (p.1033)},

	note = {Chinook salmon smolts {\textquotedblleft}mostly inhabit estuaries but also use sandy beach surf zones and the coastal ocean. However, the role of surf zones in the early life history of Chinook salmon is unclear. We hypothesized that surf zones serve as an alternative nursery habitat, defined as a habitat that consistently provides a proportion of a population with foraging and growth rates similar to those experienced in the primary nursery. . .  Our results suggest that when large numbers of 0-age Chinook salmon inhabit estuaries, juveniles concurrently use surf zones, which serve as an alternative nursery habitat. Therefore, surf zones expand the available rearing habitat for Chinook salmon during early marine residence, a critical period in the life history.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  Very interesting.},

	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.},
