Utilization Patterns of Intertidal Habitats by Birds in Yaquina Estuary, Oregon - Lamberson, Janet O.; Frazier, Melanie R..; Nelson, Walter G.; Patrick J Clinton; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Western Ecology Division, (2011)
"An assessment of bird utilization patterns of the intertidal soft sediment and low marsh habitats of the Yaquina estuary, Oregon was conducted from December 2007-November 2008. . . Gulls and terns comprised 42% of the total birds and, together with ducks, shorebirds, corvids and geese, accounted for about 92% of the total abundance. The addition of herons/egrets, rails (i.e. coots), and pelicans/cormorants comprised just over 98% of all birds observed. The remaining birds consisted of songbirds, loons/grebes, raptors and alcids." (p.3)

Oyster Mortality Study: Annual Report April 1, 1969-March 31, 1970 - Gibson, Gary; Oregon. Fish Commission; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, (Fish Commission of Oregon, 1970)
"Objectives of Oregon's oyster mortality study for the past year included monitoring oyster mortality in Yaquina, Tillamook, and Coos bays, obtaining hydrographic data in Yaquina Bay; and furnishing oysters to the University of Washington and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries (BCF) in Oxford, Maryland, for histological examination. Other activities included (1) determining seasonal growth of Pacific oysters in Yaquina Bay, (2) cooperating with the BCF Oxford laboratory on a study of the neoplastic disease in native oysters, Ostrea lurida, and (3) obtaining information on the longevity of Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas." (Introduction) During the study year, 8.6% of Pacific oysters in Yaquina Bay and 26.5% of the native Olympia oysters there died.

Flushing of pollutants in the Yaquina River estuary - Burt, Wayne V. (Technical Report / School of Science, Oregon State College, 1956)
Mimeograph. "The purpose of this study is to estimate the time and space distribution which pollutants would assume if they were introduced at various places in the Yaquina Bay and River system." (p.1) At this time, during heavy rains sewage runoff from the City of Toledo was dumped into the river. The report suggests possible locations for sewage outfalls that would reduce river pollution.
