NotesThis map is associated with the report, “Modeling Sea Level Rise Impacts to Oregon's Tidal Wetlands: Maps and Prioritization Tools to Help Plan for Habitat Conservation into the Future.” It depicts the upper end of a possible sea-level rise scenario based on the West Coast Sea Level Rise Study (National Research Council, 2012) contrasted with the current extent of tidal wetlands in the Umpqua River estuary. Areas projected to become open water or tidal mudflat are shown, as well as areas projected to become new tidal wetlands. “With assistance from: Fran Recht, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission.” “Prepared for: MidCoast Watersheds Council, Newport, Oregon.”
