Description:Completed in 2017, the Southern Flow Corridor (SFC) site is a 443-acre tidal wetland habitat restoration project located just north of Tillamook, Oregon. With a budget of $11,172,955 from a variety of state offices, federal agencies, NGOs, and private funding sources, the SFC project was designed to create salmon habitat and decrease flooding. Yet, many of the potential economic benefits provided by ecosystem services at the restored site were not monitored or valued. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Tillamook Estuary Partnership (TEP) commissioned this review of data gaps to better understand the potential contribution of the SFC restoration to economic benefits to the local community. This review is the product of an extensive literature review and a collection and assessment of the data available about the socioeconomic impacts of the restoration for service flows related to water quality, flood mitigation, salmon habitat creation, carbon storage, and benefits to the community. It also reports results from a new housing market analysisto determine if and how the restoration affected local housing values and an IMPLAN economic impact analysis of project spending conducted by NOAA.
