  1. Board of Forestry- Riparian Workshop The Economics of Sportfishing; Healthy Salmon Runs = Vibrant Rural Economies

  2. Expenditures for recreational fishing on North Coast in 2008 Freshwater = $18 million Saltwater = $26.4 Shellfish = $13.3 Source: “Fishing, Hunting, Wildlife Viewing,andShellfishing in Oregon 2008 State and County Expenditure Estimates” May 2009

  5. “Water temperature is a catalyst, a depressant, an activator, a restrictor, a stimulator, a controller, a killer, one of the most important and most influential water quality characteristics to life in water.” -The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration U.S. EPA (1986) Tillamook Country stream reaches that are temperature limited. Nehalem, Tillamook and Nestucca. Of the 3 basins, the Nehalem has the highest intrinsic value for wild coho. According to EPA and NMFS (1971), temperatures of 70 ° F (21 ° C ) were directly lethal to more than 50 percent of the adult salmon and steelhead exposed to that temperature.
