	note = {{\textquotedblleft}The goal of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Dungeness crab off the Oregon coast and provide baseline data that could be used to help inform decisions on marine spatial planning. From a conservation and management standpoint, it is critical to determine the population genetic structure and genetic diversity within subpopulations to ensure the long term viability of a species.{\textquotedblright} (p.4-5) There are clear and helpful explanations of the concepts and issues involved in this study.

	year = {2014},
	note = {This report summarizes what is known about the role of estuaries as nurseries for important aquatic species. The authors inventoried 303 West Coast estuaries and categorized each by class (lagoonal, riverine, embayment and sound) and subclass (estuarine coastal subtidal, tidal channel/creek, slough and lagoon). They examined 15 different species that used estuaries and noted what is known and not known about their life cycles and use of estuaries. {\textquotedblleft}Together with the estuary inventory and the geodatabase, this report represents the first stage in a larger effort to better understand the nursery functions of West Coast estuaries for fish and invertebrates.{\textquotedblright} (p.3)},
