Island, and Vancouver, Canada (Harrison and Bigley 1982). No attempt will be made to list all known eelgrass distribution, with one exception. However, because so little is known of eelgrass distribution in Oregon, it is worthwhile to list in Table 2 distribution as it is known (Proctor et al. 1980a).
