Lower Columbia River Estuary
Habitat Mapping
Type: Extent
of habitat (i.e., area of habitat and whether there has been a decline)
and condition of habitat and sources affecting habitat (i.e.,
the condition or functionality of the habitat).
Category: Submerged, Intertidal, Wetland, and Upland
Cost: Information not provided.
Description: The Estuary Partnership is using available historic
data to contrast with latest habitat maps to determine type and
extent of habitat lost. Some information is digitized and we are
seeking funding to get more data digitized. The Partnership supports
effort of NMFS to identify historic salmonid habitat in the lower
river.
Outcome: The historic data will be used as a planning tool
to identify goals for habitat conservation and restoration. It will
also be used as outreach tool to demonstrate what has been lost
and how far we need to go for recovery.
