As part of the Territorial Sea Plan amendment process, Oregon adopted a visual resources management system. That system included the establishment of a visual resources baseline of the Territorial Sea seascape, where 143 locations were surveyed during the scenic quality evaluation process, for use in determining visual resource class values. Those values, applied to their associated viewsheds and adopted standards will help Oregonians understand the potential impacts of any new proposed development. This report documents the Visual Resources Inventory Assessment baseline at the time the Territorial Sea Plan Part Five was amended.
