	note = {The authors examined diatom assemblages collected from surface sediment in tidal channels of 47 tidal wetlands on the Oregon coast during the summer of 2007.  They found some interesting and enlightening differences between the different groups of diatom species collected.  {\textquotedblleft}The tidal channel benthic diatom community was most strongly correlated with variables related to human disturbance at all scales surrounding the wetland and not with any tidal channel water quality parameter, including salinity. . .  The sensitivity of the tidal creek benthic diatom assemblage to both wetland and landscape level factors indicates that it might be a useful bioindicator of human disturbance to tidal wetland ecosystems.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},

	note = {This report consists of two sections, one on the impact of climate change and its associated sea level rise on Oregon{\textquoteright}s beaches, and another on the impact on Oregon tidelands and estuaries. {\textquotedblleft}Two background sections on the expected impacts from predicted sea level rise on the Oregon coast were prepared for Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}Coastal Climate Change Adaptation Project . . . . The two sections are developed for broad distribution to coastal residents, community leaders, government agencies, and other interested parties. The two non-technical sections use geometric or gradient change approaches to illustrate potential impacts of shoreline retreat and tideland submergence under conditions of accelerated global sea level rise, as predicted for the next century or two.{\textquotedblright} (from the Introduction)},

The young salmon adopting this strategy move from freshwater into the estuary and forage for food in estuarine channels.
