| Notes | “To support restoration, enhancement and conservation of the ecosystem values of U.S. West Coast estuaries, we need first to inventory and classify those estuarine systems using a common scheme. Previous efforts have noted this need and responded with inventories, assessments and classifications of estuaries along the West Coast, but generally only for a subset, and often focused on larger estuaries.” This document provides classification data for 691 estuaries in Washington, Oregon and California. |
