This report discusses environmental conditions and sites that support sustainable Olympia oyster populations in central California.

Oysters are the tiny superheroes of coastal environments. They enhance water quality, create habitat, and protect shorelines from storms and erosion. Along the Pacific Coast, native oysters are in decline, due in part to sedimentation, inadequate protection, and unsustainable harvests.

This community vision, developed as part of a 2012 Collaborative Research project, describes desired future conditions stakeholders and residents hope to see for the South Slough and Coastal Frontal sub-basins of the Coos Watershed.
