This paper presents roughly estimated potential fish resources and the current status of the fisheries referring to the problems and prospects of the fisheries. Recommendations on research, development, and management are included.
The purpose of this report is to briefly examine some of the laws
and regulatory programs which affect development in Oregon's estuaries
and their adjacent wetlands. Development, in this sense, includes
dredging, filling, bank stabilization, structures or other physical
alterations to an estuary.
