| Notes | Many of Oregon’s coastal streams and wetlands have tide gates. This publication is intended to help natural resource managers decide how to treat existing tide gates in order to help migratory fishes and other estuary residents. Should the tide gates be removed, or can they be upgraded to better allow fish passage? The report has two main sections. “The first includes an overview of the technical aspects of tide gates, including non-traditional ones. The second contains findings from a review of scientific literature about upgrading or removing tide gates as well as conclusions from a review of estuary restoration projects involving tide gates. Based on those findings, we’re also including recommendations to guide future investments in, and monitoring of, restoration projects associated with tide gates” (p.3). |
