Proposed dredging operations in Coos Bay and their probable affect on clam populations (areas upbay from the railroad bridge, with notes on the other disposal areas)

Creator:: Tollefson, Roger, Marriage, Lowell D., and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: In 1949, the Army Corps of Engineers dredged Coos Bay. “Despite objection of local residents, commercial clam diggers, and the Fish Commission” the Corps dumped dredging spoils on a commercially important clam bed, and destroyed much of it. “This year, with an earlier start and more data, it is hoped...

Investigation of proposed dike construction in Coos Bay at Eastside, Coos County, Oregon

Creator:: Marriage, Lowell D. and Oregon. Fish Commission. Shellfish Program
Abstract:: Reports on an investigation of a proposal by the Evans Products Company of Coos Bay to construct a dike in the bay. Investigators found negligible quantities of the Eastern soft-shell clam, and therefore did not oppose the proposed dredging and construction. Includes a hand-drawn map and a survey report.

Juvenile coho salmon movement and migration through tide gates

Creator:: Bass, Arthur
Abstract:: Tidal marshlands in the upper estuary ecotone provide essential habitat for juvenile salmonids. In this environment, salmonids grow rapidly and acclimate to saltwater. Worldwide, tidal marshes have been diked and drained to provide agricultural and residential land. Tide gates are one-way doors integrated into dike systems that prevent saltwater flooding...
