In the past it has been difficult to adequately document the erosion impacts since they are so widespread. This difficulty has been solved through the application of LIDAR, which uses a scanning laser mounted in a small aircraft to rapidly and accurately survey beach elevations. This study uses LIDAR to document the beach changes and shoreline erosion that occurred during the 1997-98 El Nino within the Netarts Littoral Cell on the Oregon coast, a 14-km long "pocket beach" between large rocky headlands. The LIDAR surveys demonstrate that sand generally migrated northward within the cell due to the southwest approach of the El Nino storm waves, but there was a complex pattern of beach-elevation change due to the superposition of eroded rip-current embayments. The greatest beach erosion occurred near the south end of the cell, where it impacted Cape Lookout State Park, and to the north of the inlet to Netarts Bay where it threatened The Capes, a development of condominiums located on a high bluff.

The erosion events led to the development of a unique partnership bridging scientists, stakeholders, and various planning agencies. To address these erosion issues, a regional demonstration project for littoral cell hazard planning was undertaken. To support the planning efforts a GIS inventory was created to spatially examine erosion hotspots and aid stakeholders in planning for future chronic and catastrophic erosion events. The GIS combines a physical, cultural, and hazards inventory, a shoreline change analysis, and coastal hazard risk assessment into a decision support tool to facilitate coastal hazards management. Shoreline change analysis examined historical aerial photos and new LIDAR remote sensing technologies, with results showing multiple scale patterns of erosion and accretion that have significant implications to both science and management. Hazard risk zones were generated using predictive erosion models and geological observations. The GIS and decision support system facilitates the examination of hazards to develop avoidance strategies. Through spatial queries, decision-makers can examine various data layers to guide future oceanfront development and redevelopment. The development of this GIS in conjunction with a stakeholder process facilitates community involvement from GIS design through implementation of identified hazard management recommendations. Implementing mechanisms will occur through adoption of local land use policies and changes to park master plans. The interdisciplinary nature of this project allows for the range of stakeholder opinions, thus creating a unique opportunity to address coastal hazards at a regional scale, the same scale at which coastal erosion processes operate.}, keywords = {coastal hazards, coastal processes, erosion, geographic information system, theses}, url = {https://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/graduate_projects/tt44pr85r}, author = {Revell, David L.} } @proceedings {13831, title = {Using GIS to facilitate stakeholder participation in hazards planning, Netarts littoral cell, Oregon}, year = {2000}, pages = {p.,257-363}, publisher = {The Coastal Society}, address = {Portland, Oregon}, keywords = {coastal hazards, erosion, flooding, landslides}, author = {Revell, David L.}, editor = {Jodice, Laura W. and Gupta, Anu and Boyles, Robert.} } @book {36746, title = {Status review of coastal cutthroat trout from Washington, Oregon, and California}, series = {NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-NWFSC}, year = {1999}, note = {The Biological Review Team concluded that coastal stocks of cutthroat trout were not presently at risk of extinction.

The west coast oyster industry depends on the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Seed for the Pacific oyster is produced in hatcheries, since the water temperature of most estuaries is too cold for natural reproduction. Oregon has four major estuaries: Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, Yaquina Bay, and Coos Bay. Pacific oysters are commercially grown at each estuary. Oregon has had a commercial oyster hatchery since 1975 located at Netarts Bay. Annual larval production is in the billions, with larvae being shipped to oyster growers from Alaska to Mexico. Tillamook Bay has six oyster growing companies with an annual production of 5,000 gallons; Netarts Bay has three companies with an annual production of 3,000 gallons; the one Yaquina Bay company produces 11,000 gallons annually; and Coos Bay, with four companies, has an annual production of 40,000 gallons.}, keywords = {aquaculture, Olympia oyster = Ostrea lurida [Ostrea conchaphila], Pacific oyster = Crassostrea gigas, shellfish}, author = {Robinson, Anja M.} } @article {13901, title = {Tidal marsh stratigraphy, sea-level change and large earthquakes-II: submergence events during the last 3500 years at Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA}, volume = {17}, number = {no.4}, year = {1998}, note = {Investigates "peat-mud couplets" - alternating layers of peat and mud.

Recent studies in this region interpret such couplets as the product of repeated large (magnitude 8 or 9) earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone. Stratigraphic investigations of the intertidal sediments at Netarts Bay, Oregon, using lithological, pollen and diatom analyses reveal different types of submergence associated with peat-mud couplets during the last 3500yr. Three peat-mud couplets record gradual sedimentation changes within an infilling body of water. Four other couplets record rapid submergence, burial of tidal marshes and their replacement by low marsh environments. In three of the events rapid submergence is small, 0-0.5m. The most recent marsh submergence event, around AD 1700, was 0.4+/-0.3m. Most of the buried peats contain microfossil evidence for a gradual increase in marine influence before the rapid change from organic to minerogenic sedimentation. Similar gradual changes are common in comparable pale environments on non-seismic coasts and are strong evidence against a simple interseismic strain accumulation-coseismic subsidence model. One hypothesis is that the gradual increase in marine influence before each submergence represents pre-seismic relative sea-level rise caused by a reduction in the rate of land uplift. The microfossil analyses provide evidence of three stages within an earthquake deformation cycle: coseismic subsidence; interseismic land uplift; and pre-seismic reduction in the rate of land uplift. At present the microfossil data do not differentiate between rapid post-seismic land uplift and rapid sedimentation.}, keywords = {coastal hazards, geology, tsunamis}, author = {Shennan, I. and Long, A. and Rutherford, M.

Evidence is presented which suggests that stresses of the physical environment and biological factors result in oldest individuals being in the subtidal, and that growth of shells is correlated with the amount of tidal submergence. A short-term tagging study was done at two sites and most of yearly growth occurred in the Spring months. Collections were made from July, 1975, through September, 1976, from six sites to study synchronism of gonadal development and fecundity of populations by histological examination of gonads. Synchronism of gonadal development to the ripe stage occurs among intertidal and subtidal populations in the same area, while populations from different areas of the bay do not reach the ripe condition at the same time. There is evidence of protandric spawning behavior, and the hermaphroditic nature of C. nuttallii is compared to that of the Family Tridacnidae.
