| Notes | From the PNCERS Study, a seven-year program that focused on four estuaries in Washington and Oregon: Gray's Harbor, Willapa Bay, Yaquina Bay and Coos Bay. This paper compared 20 estuaries in Oregon and Washington. "This study demonstrates for the first time a direct link between estuarine condition and survival of salmon..." Pristine (less developed) estuaries have better fall chinook salmon survival rates. |
