| Notes | Popular overview of the state of Oregon's estuaries in the early 1980s. Uses Tillamook Bay as an example of "estuary evolution accelerated by man," documents filling in of the bay due to logging, forest fires. Paragraph descriptions of each of the major estuaries. "Siletz Bay (1,160 acres): This estuary has its problems. The ocean breeching of its protective sand spit in the early 1970's, siltation from the logged watershed and shoreline development all pose environmental threats. The bay still supports heavy winter populations of waterfowl. The Siletz River is well known for its runs of cutthroat trout and salmon." |
