reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA323030 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report provides a historical perspective of a Pacific coast estuarine system-Willapa Bay. The intent of the report is to stimulate estuarine research in an area which is relatively undisturbed. Of particular interest is the importance or value of marshes, tideflats, and eel grass beds to estuarine fisheries and waterfowl. The research findings as determined for Willapa Bay could be applied to other Pacific Northwest estuaries for coastal problems and decision making.
