Oregon is as an ideal location for wave energy, and many companies have expressed interest in developing this resource for renewable commercial power. The State is now entering the second phase of a process to amend its Territorial Sea Plan for renewable energy development through a spatial planning process that will locate areas where renewable energy development may be sited within Oregon's Territorial waters. We here at Surfrider have been working very hard to make sure that recreational areas and interests are protected in this process, you can learn more about that by clicking here. But now, we need your help! Listed below is a schedule of public meetings to help explain the process and allow the public an opportunity to provide comments or input. Don't let ocean recreation be the red-headed step child of ocean planning, tell state agencies that recreational uses of the coast are as important in considering ocean planning as the many other uses of our ocean.
