Description:
Coos Bay Estuary supports a rich diversity of biological resources. Eelgrass supports an important community in Coos Bay. Of particular importance is the use of eelgrass beds as a nursery area by commercially important fishery organisms including salmon and Dungeness crab. ESA-listed species (under USFWS jurisdiction) within Coos Bay include marbled murrelet, spotted owl, and western snowy plover.
