	note = {Estuaries provide habitat for many juvenile marine fishes.  A lack of systematic studies of fish communities in estuaries has hampered our understanding of estuaries{\textquoteright} roles in the early life histories of many marine fish. In this article, the authors compare the community structure of juvenile fishes in the Yaquina Estuary for 2008-2009, 2012-2013 and 2016-2017.  Sampling took place around docks and eelgrass beds. {\textquotedblleft}Greater abundances and reduced change in communities over time at eelgrass sites suggests that maintaining these habitats is potentially critical for many estuary-rearing species and temporal changes in these communities highlights the importance of long-term monitoring.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},
