| Notes | This 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 a possible sea-level rise scenario based on the West Coast Sea Level Rise Study (National Research Council, 2012). This map shows a possible rise in sea level of 4.7 feet by the year 2100. It shows what could happen to tidal wetlands: where they could expand, where they could be inundated. “Prepared for: MidCoast Watersheds Council, Newport, Oregon.” “With assistance from: Fran Recht, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission.” |
