This analysis was performed for two reasons: 1) the KWG needed a way to focus and synthesize the results of applied research on the condition and trends of natural resources, and the factors affecting those resources; and 2) a detailed watershed analysis was needed to supplement watershed assessments planned for...
The study area for this assessment is composed of the Alsea, Salmon, Siletz, Yachats, and
Yaquina River watersheds and those watersheds that drain directly to the ocean between
Cascade Head and Cape Creek at Heceta Head (Ocean Tributaries). Wherever possible,
1:24,000 uniform scale geographic information system (GIS) data that covered...
Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) distribution was monitored and eelgrass beds (Zostera marina) were mapped during the spring migration of 1976. Brant used eelgrass areas significantly, and human disturbance and tide height were important factors influencing Brant distribution and activity.
Estuaries are once again emerging as important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. Yaquina Bay, located...
Archival information about fish and water in the Umpqua Basin can be found in reports housed in disparate locations (e.g., offices of various State and Federal agencies and local organizations). A comprehensive bibliography of grey literature, important or uncataloged reports, and published reports is one means of recording what research...
Describes rearing of Oregon pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) larvae. Studied aeration, feeding habits, water current, and light intensity and their effects on shrimp behavior. Front cover carries "Information Report." This report was digitized by an ODFW employee.
