Abstract	In order for proper land use planning to occur in coastal Lincoln County, Oregon, coastal erosion rates should be determined. This has been accomplished by identifying the location of the Lincoln County coast in 1939, 1959, and 1973 and measuring the amount of change occurring between the years. The area was mapped according to three rate categories of erosion (slight, moderate, and severe) or accretion. Erosion rates can be related to geologic, climatic, and oceanographic factors. Geologic influence is most easily determined and gives the most insight for planning decisions. There are several methods of shore protection. These include the use of vegetation, structural means, and/or zoning.
