Description

Abstract: This report was prepared by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and provides a comprehensive overview of the ODFW Marine Reserves Program and the first 10 years of implementation of Oregon’s marine reserves. Implementation of the marine reserve system is the first long-term, nearshore ocean conservation and monitoring program executed by the state of Oregon. It is currently the only ecosystem-focused, nearshore monitoring program designed to track and understand ocean changes in Oregon’s state waters. It is also the first comprehensive human dimensions research program focused on examining the economic, social, and cultural dynamics of the Oregon coast and coastal communities. This report serves as an important check-in on the development and execution of this relatively new nearshore conservation and monitoring program. It gives Oregonians a chance to reflect on the accomplishments, challenges, lessons learned, and contributions since the program’s inception. This moment also serves as an opportunity to consider efficiencies that might be brought to the program in the future. In this chapter you’ll find an introduction to Oregon’s marine reserves and the ODFW Marine Reserves Program; a guide on how to use this report; and the goals, objectives, and implementation mandates set by the Oregon Legislature and Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) for Oregon’s marine reserves.
