Description

Abstract: The marine environment along the Oregon coast provides many opportunities for commercial and recreational use that bring substantial economic benefits to Oregon. The harvest of living marine resources in fisheries comprises a significant portion of these activities. Oregon manages all the state’s marine fishery resources, some in conjunction with international and/or federal management, while other species or species complexes are entirely under state management. The purpose of this Marine Fisheries Management Plan Framework (Framework) is to guide the development of balanced Marine Fisheries Management Plans (MFMPs) intended to optimize commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries, new fisheries, and other harvest of marine resources while maintaining ecosystem integrity.
