CBI recently worked with the Pacific Marine & Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership (PMEP) to update the
West Coast Estuaries Explorer, a tool designed to engage a broad range of users with detailed information about estuaries along the U.S. West Coast.
The first version of this tool was developed in partnership with PMEP and the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative. The partnership between CBI and PMEP continues with support from NOAA and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC).
The Estuaries Explorer got several performance and design updates to make it easier to use and more visually engaging. In addition to the latest available information for estuary boundaries and biological habitats, the Explorer now includes aerial images for each of the estuaries in Washington, Oregon, and California.
Later this year, CBI and PMEP will incorporate additional information on the location of eelgrass habitat and areas of tidal wetland loss.
PSMFC has taken over long term hosting of this exciting tool.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the West Coast Estuaries Explorer. This application lets you easily explore the latest available data for estuaries in California, Oregon, and Washington.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Willamette Valley Conservation Study Explorer.
This simple interactive map viewer allows you to explore detailed information for each Priority Conservation Area identified in the Willamette Valley Conservation Study.
