	note = {This report summarizes what is known about the role of estuaries as nurseries for important aquatic species. The authors inventoried 303 West Coast estuaries and categorized each by class (lagoonal, riverine, embayment and sound) and subclass (estuarine coastal subtidal, tidal channel/creek, slough and lagoon). They examined 15 different species that used estuaries and noted what is known and not known about their life cycles and use of estuaries. {\textquotedblleft}Together with the estuary inventory and the geodatabase, this report represents the first stage in a larger effort to better understand the nursery functions of West Coast estuaries for fish and invertebrates.{\textquotedblright} (p.3)},
