Tidal wetlands of the Yaquina and Alsea River estuaries, Oregon: Geographic Information Systems layer development and recommendations for National Wetlands Inventory revisions - Brophy, Laura S.; Reusser, Deborah A.; Janousek, Christopher N.; Green Point Consulting,; U.S. Geological Survey,; U.S.Environmental Protection Agency, (Open-File Report (Geological Survey (U.S.)), 2013)
“Geographic Information Systems (GIS) layers of current, and likely former, tidal wetlands in two Oregon estuaries were generated by enhancing the 2010 National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data with expert local field knowledge, Light Detection and Ranging-derived elevations, and 2009 aerial orthophotographs. Data were generated for two purposes: First, to enhance the NWI by recommending revised Cowardin et al. (1979) classifications for certain NWI wetlands within the study area; and second, to generate GIS data for the 1999 Yaquina and Alsea River Basins Estuarine Wetland Site Prioritization study…. The GIS products of this project improve the accuracy and utility of the NWI data, and provide useful tools for estuarine resource management.” (from the Abstract) Color maps. Appendix A includes excellent color photographs of wetland sites and plants.

Yaquina Bay, Oregon Geographic Response Plan (GRP) - Northwest Area Committees, (2005)
"1 September 2005." This is an emergency response plan for an oil spill in or near Yaquina Bay. "This plan prioritizes resources to be protected and allows for immediate and proper action. By using this plan, the first responders to a spill can avoid the initial confusion that generally accompanies any spill." (p.iv)

Dike on Olalla Slough, Lincoln County, Oreg. - U.S. Congress. Senate, (1914)
63rd Congress, 2nd Session, no.649. Authorizes maintenance of a dike on Olalla Slough, which was recommended by the War Department, "provided a suitable gate is inserted therein, to be opened and closed at certain stages of the tide for the passage of boats.""Olalla Slough is a tidal stream emptying into Yaquina River, the tidal influence extending about 2 miles up the slough from its mouth, for which distance it is navigable at half tide for small boats and scows . . . The stream is used to a limited extent by settlers to transport their farm products to market and to float logs to the sawmills on Yaquina River."
