Oregon Coast Landward Migration Zone slideshow
Laura Brophy and Michael Ewald 2017Landward migration zones (“LMZs”) are areas that could become future tidal wetlands under sea level rise. This slideshow explains the methods and results of the Estuary Technical Group’s mapping of potential future tidal wetlands for all the estuaries on Oregon’s outer coast.
