Description

Abstract: This inventory presents a survey of natural resources on Oregon's coastal rocky shores. The inventory examines rocky intertidal areas, cliffs, offshore rocks and associated subtidal reef habitats, upland facilities adjacent to rocky shores, access, and human uses. The purpose of this inventory is to support current and future resource planning and management programs for Oregon's rocky shores. In 1991, the Oregon Legislature created the Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) to prepare a plan for managing Oregon's territorial sea. A large part of OPAC's effort during the 1992-1994 planning phase was the development of a comprehensive strategy for managing Oregon's rocky shores. This inventory provides OPAC with the factual base needed to apply the management strategies to actual locations on the coast and is a companion document to the Territorial Sea Management Plan. This document presents rocky shores data in both a summary section and a detailed site inventory section. The summary section (Section 2) distills the detailed site inventory information (Section 3) and presents it in a format that allows coast wide comparisons of sites. The site inventory section (Section 3) contains detailed descriptions of all rocky shores areas along the Oregon coastline. Both sections organize and present information using the geographic classification of rocky shores sites employed by OPAC's Rocky Shores Management Strategy. This system classifies geographically related rocky shores sites into 29 "cells" along the coast (Figures 1.1a and 1.1b). Section 3 also inventories resources on the jetties that form rocky shore areas at many of the river mouths along the coast.

Purpose: In Support of the Oregon Territorial Sea Plan Ocean Policy Advisory Council.
