Talk:Coos Bay

message: The image I found on the original article was named :Image:USACE Coos Bay Inlet.jpg. However, the description of this image at the Commons identifies it as the mouth of the Umpqua River at Winchester Bay. The links from the Commons image to the USACE source do not seem to work, which makes it hard to do fact-checking. However, I believe the description is correct and that this image is of Winchester Bay and the Umpqua and not of Coos Bay. I have therefore removed it, and we need a new image of the bay.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Coos Bay. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110430233048/http://www.cooswatershed.org/home.html to http://www.cooswatershed.org/home.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello, Nice piece so far on Coos Bay (the body of water). I checked the links for the references and they all work great. I did notice a few things that could be added. I see that some citations are needed for the information already included. Other additions to this article may be adding information on recreational activities done in the bay, and resources that Coos Bay provides. Such as clamming in the mud flats, and how Coos bay is home to the largest oyster farm in the State of Oregon, which are harvested year-round. (http://www.silverpointoysters.com/) Also, could add in the research being done on the bay by the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, OIMB, (through the University of Oregon), as well as the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve located just south of OIMB.Revagillman (talk) 01:05, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Coos bay estuary Oregon fish and wildlife report from 1979, Roye,Cyndi. Information on physical characteristics, including dimensions, tributaries, bottom topography, tidal circulation, mixing, flushing, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, sediments and more. Biological characteristics: phytoplankton, macroalgae, seagrasses, tidal marsh, zooplankton, invertebrates, fish, mammals, birds; and subsystems.
Coos Bay Salt Marshes report from 1974, Hoffnagle, John. Info on: values and functions of salt marsh, history, salt marsh plants, marsh types of coos bay, mapping and acreage, salt marsh primary production in coos bay and more.
Comparative study of salt marshes in coo's bay report from 1976, Hoffnagle, John.  Includes: Site descriptions - size, location, drainage, climate, geology, population and industry; salt marsh plants and marsh zonation - characteristics of plants; Net primary production in coos bay salt marshes - seasonal changes in nutrient values; detrital production.
Shifting Sediment Dynamics in Coos Bay Estuary in Response to 150 Years of Modification (2021) Eidam, EF. Using sediment transport model to look at how Coos bay has been modified since 1865: channel deepening/routing and dredging; leading to changes in dispersal and increased sediment trapping.
Impacts of 150 years of shoreline and bathymetric change in coos estuary; Eidam EF.  dredging, shoreline reclamation, channel deepening, reduced intertidal areas. Hydrodynamic model using bathymetry data. Lead to increase in "tidal amplitude", "salinity intrusion length", "subtidal salt flux" and "ebb dominance of currents".
Sediment Tracer Tracking and Numerical Modeling at Coos Bay Inlet, OR, Li, Honghai. tracking movement of dredged material. numerical hydrodynamic, wave, and sediment transport model, the "Coastal Modeling System" to calculate sediment fluxes and simulate sediment tracer movement under waves, current, and wind conditions. results suggest movement is driven by tidal current in bay and inlet, and wave and storm conditions in open coastal area.
Environmental factors that affect Eelgrass meadows in Willapa Bay, WA and Coos Bay OR estuaries from 1998-2001, Thom, Ronald, 2003.  Positive correlation between plant density and salinity, negative correlation with water temp gradients. Covers El Nino to La Nina - increase in plant flowering and abundance. significant effects of climate variation.
Hydrographic and dissolved oxygen variability in a seasonal pacific Northwest estuary, Sutherland, David, 2016.  Up/down welling, variation in freshwater input, big tides, "salt wedge" at high river flow, well-mixed at low river flow, partially mixed during moderate river flow plus strong tides leads to salinity gradients, stratification. No evidence of hypoxia.
Green sturgeon in coos bay estuary (and Columbia river estuary) 2010-2011, Hansel, Hal 2017.  ESA-listed, migrate upstream, used acoustic detectors and temperature/pressure sensor tags and capture release.
Olympia oyster larvae in coos bay, Peteiro, Laura, 2015.  abundance and vertical migration. study conducted in 2010. Seasonality, abundance.
Juvenile Coho Salmon diet in coos bay, Mackereth, Kailand, 2016.  Early migration, many return as spawning population. Yearling and sub-yearling foraging in upper estuary intertidal zone. Suggested different diets.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngstyArmadillo (talk • contribs) 20:20, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggested Bibiolography for this page

message: Hello,
My groupmates and I would like to change the title of this page to Coos Bay Estuary to differentiate it from the Coos Bay, Oregon page about the town. 
@Ian (Wiki Ed) Would we have to make a new page and transfer everything over to do this? The trainings didn't explain the case where we are renaming an already existing page. Is this something you can help us with?
Thanks! LiammaiL (talk) 01:21, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @AngstyArmadillo There already is a note at the top of this article differentiating it from the Coos Bay, Oregon article. There's no need to rename this page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:40, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
