Yachats completes 12-year wetlands inventory, plans state-coordinated protection
Summary
Council President Nicole Hedlund said the city finished a roughly 12-year wetlands inventory mapping wetlands within city limits; the next step is a wetlands protection plan developed with the state to guide stewardship and management.
Nicole Hedlund said the city has completed its wetlands inventory, a project she estimated has been underway for "12 years," and described it as a mapping effort to identify wetlands within Yachats city limits. "We have our wetlands inventory complete," she said.
Hedlund said the inventory gives the city planner a tool to understand waterways and wetlands and that the next step is to develop a protection plan in coordination with the state to guide how the city will manage the mapped areas. No specific regulatory actions, timelines, or funding sources for the protection plan were provided in the meeting recap.
