Back to all Assessment Reports
PMEP developed a comprehensive inventory of U.S. West Coast estuaries. PMEP and its partners compiled information from previous inventories and also included additional estuaries identified through National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and aerial imagery. PMEP developed this inventory and geodatabase with the understanding that although this is a much needed first step to guide management of these valuable resources, it is simply the first step. PMEP intends for the geodatabase to be a living database and to be updated and improved upon through time.
