| Notes | “The primary objective of this study is to explore potential changes in salmon habitat in the estuary and estuary-river ecotone with sea-level rise in coastal Oregon. In this project, we hope to provide managers and salmon biologists with a starting point for considering the potential effects of sea-level rise on estuarine habitats.” (p.198) Includes maps of five Oregon estuaries, showing the changes that would be brought by a 1-meter or 2-meter rise in sea level. |
