Ecoregions

Nearshore

The Nearshore ecoregion includes a variety of habitats ranging from submerged high-relief rocky reefs to broad expanses of intertidal mudflats in estuaries and hosts a vast array of fish, invertebrates, marine mammals, birds, plants, and micro-organisms. This ecoregion encompasses the area from the outer boundary of Oregon’s Territorial Sea to the supra-tidal zone, and up into the estuaries.

Special needs

Subtidal algal beds and rocky reefs during spawning.

Limiting factors

None identified.

Data gaps

Life-history information (age, growth, and reproductive patterns) and population status. Fishery-independent surveys. Shoreline and estuary harvest levels.

Conservation actions

Protect critical habitat. Gather information to fill data gaps.
