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 the upper end of 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 depicts possible migrations of wetland plants from inundated areas to new wetlands based on factors such as land use, zoning and built structures. “Prepared for: MidCoast Watersheds Council, Newport, Oregon.” “With assistance from: Fran Recht, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission.” |
