	note = {In this thesis, the author tackles the problem of different widths of buffer zones around streams on Federal and private lands.  He advocates an {\textquotedblleft}alternative riparian conservation strategy{\textquotedblright} that allows more timber production while preserving riparian areas and protecting fish.  Seven study watersheds  {\textquotedblleft}totaling over 2.5 million acres of forested lands in western Oregon{\textquotedblright} were analyzed using geospatial tools.

During a 1988-1991 study (Page et al. 1992), 1375 shorebirds were recorded a spring count. Each of these, as well as many personal observations, exceed state thresholds for waterfowl and shorebirds, respectively. The North Spit of the Umpqua River is a designated USFWS Western Snowy Plover Critical Habitat area." Data may be obtained from the IBA website.},

	volume = {no.87-0-01},
	year = {1987},
	note = {A research project was carried out over two study periods (March-September 1986, March-August 1987) to determine the nest locations and nesting habitat of marbled murrelets (Brachyramehus marmoratus) in coastal Oregon . . . A suspected nesting area was found through the identification of calling murrelets at Remmy Creek, a forested basin in Douglas County located 44 km from the ocean. This 260 ha basin contains stands of old-growth conifers, principally Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and is estimated to support three to five pairs of nesting marbled murrelets. Abundance surveys indicate that at-sea murrelet abundance in the study area is patchy, in that it declines with increasing distance from the mouths of rivers and bays, and varies from day to day in the same area. Based on murrelet density estimates in the study area, the breeding population of marbled murrelets in coastal Oregon is tentatively estimated to be approximately 2,500 pairs of birds. (p.1)},
