Public Input: Marine Reserves

Governor Kulongoski has recently renewed his commitment to establish a network of marine reserves in Oregon's Territorial Sea to help preserve Oregon's ocean heritage for future generations. On July 16-17, the Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) will meet in Tillamook to discuss ecological and socioeconomic criteria to be used to evaluate potential sites. Following identification of criteria, a six month public process will begin for nomination of sites. It's important that Surfrider members participate as this public process moves forward. For more info on how to get involved contact Pete pstauffer@surfrider.org For info on OPAC agenda: http://www.lcd.state.or.us/LCD/OPAC/index.shtml
