To set estuarine restoration targets, coastal managers need to understand natural baselines and human modifications. The goal of this study was to characterize baseline environmental conditions for the purposes of restoration planning at Elkhorn Slough, a regionally significant California estuary. |

Dike material was used to create high, mid, and low elevation marshes to research vegetation and fish responses to varied restoration practices. High marsh facilitated rapid vegetation colonization, but sacrifices fish access and channel development. Mid elevation marsh facilitates vegetation colonization AND channel formation. Low marsh benefits fish initially but has slower vegetation colonization. This adaptive restoration approach was valuable in informing other, larger scale restoration strategies. |
| Residence Time and Seasonal Movements of Juvenile Coho Salmon in the Ecotone and Lower Estuary of Winchester Creek, South Slough, Oregon PDF, 183KB Jul 12 06 |
Miller, Bruce A. and Sadro, Steve Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 132:546-559 2003 |
The juvenile life history of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in the stream2estuary ecotone of Winchester Creek, South Slough, Oregon, was investigated in 1999–2001. Seines and a rotary screw trap were used to capture fish for dye-marking, and residence time within the ecotone was determined for recaptured marked fish. In the lower estuary, ultrasonic transmitters were used to document residence time and patterns of movement for smolts migrating to the ocean. Nearly half of each brood year moved to the estuary as subyearlings. A portion of age-0 juveniles that moved downstream during spring lived in the ecotone through summer for up to 8 months, then most moved back upstream to verwinter. Fish that moved to the ecotone during fall and winter had mean minimum residence times of 48 d in 1999 and 64 d in 2000. Some of the fish that moved to the ecotone during fall and winter moved into an off-channel beaver pond and resided there for a mean of 49 d. Spring age-1 smolts had a mean minimum residence time in the ecotone of 18 d for both years and used recently restored salt marshes and other off-channel habitats. Smolts implanted with ultrasonic transmitters lived in the lower estuary for an average of 5.8 d, during which their direction of movement corresponded to the direction of tidal flow. |

Sediment beneath the floor of the Bay suggests that at least four ephemeral estuaries have occupied the site of the Bay during the past 700,000 years. These estuaries presumably reflect global fluctuations in sea level caused by exchange of water between oceans and continental glaciers. |
