	note = {This article recounts the techniques that led to the production of the 2017 maps to model the effects of sea level rise. The authors used lidar digital elevation models and other elevation models to develop new maps of current and historical wetlands on the United States West Coast. Their work shows that about 85\% of historical wetlands have been lost, with most losses near major river deltas. {\textquotedblleft}The new maps will help interested groups improve action plans for estuarine wetland habitat restoration and conservation, and will also provide a better baseline for understanding and predicting future changes with projected sea level rise{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).},

	note = {{\textquotedblleft}To support restoration, enhancement and conservation of the ecosystem values of U.S. West Coast estuaries, we need first to inventory and classify those estuarine systems using a common scheme. Previous efforts have noted this need and responded with inventories, assessments and classifications of estuaries along the West Coast, but generally only for a subset, and often focused on larger estuaries.{\textquotedblright}  This document provides classification data for 691 estuaries in Washington, Oregon and California.},
