Title: CMECS Estuarine Aquatic Setting v.0.4, OCMP, 2014

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This layer is a polygon file containing CMECS Aquatic Setting classes for Oregon Estuaries. The CMECS Aquatic Setting classification distinguishes oceans, estuaries and lakes, deep and shallow waters and submerged and intertidal environments within which more refined classification of geological, physicochemical, and biological information can be organized. It is comprised of three hierarchical levels (System, Subsystem and Tidal Zone) and provides the context for all CMECS components.

Purpose:

To depict CMECS Aquatic Setting classes for Oregon Estuaries. In particular, this layer is a convenient reference for determining tidal vs. non-tidal (diked) areas of estuaries.

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 2.1

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Estuarine Coastal - The Estuarine Coastal Subsystem extends from the supratidal zone at the land margin up to the 4 meter depth contour in waters that have salinity greater than 0.5 (during the period of average annual low flow). The Estuarine Coastal Subsystem would be considered the shallow perimeter in a deeper estuary, although many estuaries may be entirely less than 4 meters deep and be classified as completely in the Coastal Subsystem.

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 2.2

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Estuarine Open Water - The Estuarine Open Water Subsystem includes all waters of the Estuarine System with a total depth greater than 4 meters, exclusive of those waters designated Tidal Riverine Open Water.

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 2.3

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Estuarine tidal Riverine Coastal - The Estuarine Tidal Riverine Coastal Subsystem includes the most upstream region of the estuary, in those areas between MHHW to the 4 meter depth contour below MLLW in waters that (a) can be regularly influenced by tides and (b) where salinity is below 0.5 during the period of annual low flow.
