The objective of the Alsea Watershed Study of Integrated Land-Water
Management is to learn how to obtain maximum productivity of a river
basin for the greatest public good. Specific objectives of the investigation
are:
* To determine effects of forestry, mining, industrial, agricultural,
municipal, fishery, game, recreational and other practices...
This report measures the effects of logging on the production and yield of Coho salmon, coastal cutthroat, and steelhead trout in small coastal streams. It contains descriptions of the physical and biological environment before logging, and describes some immediate effects of logging, such as such as a decrease in dissolved...
Increasingly diverse interests in commercial and recreational use of marine resources are creating new challenges for coastal ocean management. One concern of increased offshore use and development off the Oregon coast is the potential impact on marine bird populations.

Evaluations were performed on three stream temperature prediction models: Heat
Source 5.6, SSTEMP 3.9, and Brown's equation. Each model was evaluated using data
collected from three Coastal Oregon and two western Cascade streams. Stream temperature
simulations were performed on two forested reaches, one clearcut reach, and one buffered
reach, for...
