Each approach yielded different results, potentially providing a more complete picture of marine reserve impacts and long-term trends while also highlighting the need to consider the variability of ACS [American Community Survey] data collected from small communities.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},

	year = {2017},
	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. },
