Description

Abstract: In 2008, the state of Oregon began a process to establish and implement a limited system of marine reserve sites within state waters. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is the lead agency responsible for implementation of Oregon’s system of marine reserves. An important component of marine reserve implementation is monitoring and evaluation. In 2009, ODFW established a program focused on marine reserves implementation that includes staff responsible for the design and implementation of an ecological monitoring program that is to provide information for marine reserves evaluation and to be used in support of nearshore resource management. The ecological monitoring program was developed by ODFW program staff, with assistance and collaboration from external scientists and marine reserve community team members. This document provides a description of the plans for monitoring of Oregon’s system of marine reserves.
