GIS data and metadata from the report "Modeling sea level rise impacts to Oregon’s tidal wetlands : Maps and prioritization tools to help plan for habitat conservation into the future.” This project maps potential future tidal wetlands (landward migration zones) for emergent, scrub-shrub and forested tidal wetlands of the 23...
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...

Background: Tidal wetlands are important habitats for salmon and a diversity of other fish and wildlife species. They also trap sediment, buffer coastal communities from flooding and erosion, and perform other valued ecosystem services. Tidal wetlands currently exist just at and above sea level, and healthy tidal wetlands are able...
This project, commissioned in 1998, is part of the MidCoast Watersheds Council's efforts to better understand the status and condition of the area's natural resources and to work with interested landowners to enhance and protect important areas.
This presentation summarizes the MidCoast Watersheds Council's project on the impacts of SLR on tidal wetlands in Oregon. Please see the project report for details (linked in Related Items below).
