The Salmon River (Lincoln County, Oregon) has a small (438 acres), relatively undeveloped estuary. The area gained protection In 1974, when an act of Congress made the Salmon River estuary part of the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. Today, the estuary is notable for ongoing studies of formerly diked sections that have been restored to tidal marshlands. 

This bibliography attempts to identify research on physical, biological and cultural aspects of the Salmon River estuary and the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area, with an emphasis on fisheries and natural resources.  The historical period covered extends from Theodore Talbot’s trip through the region in 1849 up to the present date. This collection of references is necessarily incomplete, but we would be grateful to learn of any major omissions.
