With numerous state ocean management processes currently underway, one can become quickly lost in the web of different issues and intricacies in play. One thing is certain however, with on-going respectful dialogue and accurate information, we as Oregonian's will be able to best chart our path forward for ocean stewardship. Last week, the Siuslaw Watershed Council hosted an Ocean Issues Community Forum in Florence aimed at providing tools and information so that citizens can make informed decisions as we digest the complexities of ocean management. Check out the recent press coverage of the event in the Siuslaw News here. Another great way to stay up on what's happening with the Marine Reserve Community teams, Territorial Sea Planning, and the Nearshore Research Task Force is to visit DLCD's website at www.oregonocean.info
