Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate. Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion. As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes. To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline...

USDA-ARS researchers have put together high resolution ARC-GIS layers for intertidal bathymetry and distance to mouth as well as eelgrass, burrowing shrimp and oyster aquaculture habitats in Willapa Bay, Washington for this project. We await results of bathtub modeling exercise and climate scenario projections to integrate and validate models to examine effects of SLR and temperature and salinity changes on these habitats and engineering species. We have also assembled a historical layer representing native oyster (Ostrea lurida) habitat in Willapa Bay and are in the process of assembling data for oyster aquaculture and potential native oyster habitats in Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay, and Netarts estuaries in Oregon.

The data in this release originate from a low-altitude, aeromagnetic survey of the Centralia and Chehalis area of southwestern Washington. The survey was conducted between September 22 and October 22, 2015, by Eon Geosciences, Inc, working under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey. The covered region extends from the Cascade Range in the east to Willapa Bay in the west, and includes the cities of Chehalis and Centralia, Washington, and a part of Interstate 5. Total magnetic field values were acquired using a fixed-wing aircraft flown at a target elevation of 200 m above terrain. Primary flight lines were oriented east-west and spaced 400 m apart; additional tie lines were oriented north-south and spaced 4000...
This dataset consists of tabular information from coastal studies of earthquake and tsunami history along a central part of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The study area encompasses four estuaries along the Pacific coast of southern Washington and northernmost Oregon. Nearly all the field work took place between 1986 and 1998. Data tables, 18 in all, archive mostly georeferenced information about stratigraphy, radiocarbon ages, and trees dead and living. Some of this data was interpreted in reports published between 1987 and 2005, but most of it was previously unavailable. An accompanying guide, with hyperlinks to the data tables, explains the data tables more thoroughly than does the metadata. Contributors include...
The ongoing restoration of more than 200 hectares of estuarine habitat at Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, southwestern Washington, is expected to benefit a variety of species, including salmonids that use estuarine and tidal marshes as rearing and feeding areas as well as migratory waterbirds. During March through June 2014 and 2015, this study was initiated to assess aquatic prey resources. We collected data on environmental variables and invertebrate community structure, and the taskforce provided salmonid diet data at restored (Lewis Stream and Porter Point) and reference (Greenhead Slough and Ellsworth Creek) sites. We analyzed these data to determine the functional capacity of the estuary for supporting invertebrate...
