Description

Abstract: Oregon's 16 estuaries contain approximately 57,000 acres. Only three coastal states in the nation have fewer estuarine acres. Since 1960, approximately 1,000 acres of estuarial lands in Oregon have been destroyed by industrial and recreational developments. Land use planning and zoning is currently being implemented by county governments to control the development of these estuarial area and adjacent uplands. State and federal agencies have coordinated their efforts in providing assistance to county governments in developing land use plans. On March 1, 1971, the Fish Commission of Oregon initiated an estuary resource study with two objectives designed to provide input into coastal land use planning: (1) to obtain for each bay, by month, an estimate of angler effort and species composition of the commercial and sport catch of marine non-game fish, crabs, clams, and miscellaneous invertebrates; and, (2) to develop clam sampling techniques to be used eventually to determine intertidal and subtidal clam distribution and abundance in all Oregon estuaries. Field activities for the estuary resource use study were completed on October 31, 1971. Planning, collection of data, and preparation of the data for computer processing utilized most of the contract staff's time in FY 72. Results of these analyses will be presented in a final report in 1973. Field activities for the clam inventory study are continuing. Progress to date is presented in this report.
