| Notes | "Prepared for the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership." The study showed that Oregon Parks and Recreation Dept. and private timber land had the best fish habitat, "although habitat impacts were ubiquitous throughout the watershed." Inadequate spawning gravel was a major limiting factor for chum salmon and probably steelhead. "Riparian condition on private nonindustrial land was highly variable being poor to moderate although small areas of good riparian habitat did occur. Riparian condition on land managed for private timber was less variable and consistently moderate to good, although a few riparian buffers had blown down in the winter windstorm of 2007." (p.1) Color maps, color photograhs. Many recommendations for improving habitat were made. |
