| Abstract | As part of its management strategies for wetlands in Oregon, the Division of State Lands sponsored a Local Wetland Inventory for the city of Tillamook. Wetlands delineation, determination, assessment, and management are the concern of several institutions which worked together to create the 1993 Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology. With the Division of State Lands at the lead, Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Land Conservation and Development, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Natural Resources Conservation Service West National Technical Center, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, The Nature Conservancy, and Oregon Natural Heritage Program all provided important information. All the information gathered through the Assessment Methodology can be more effective if integrated with GIS technology. In the long term results, manipulation of the information will be much easier and decisions could be based on visual outputs. GIS will contribute to a better coordination among agencies and it will avoid duplication of efforts. |
