Rocky Habitat Protection & Conservation
Moving forward, we need to ensure designated rocky habitat sites are implemented successfully (i.e. they don’t just become “paper parks”).
Kelp & Eelgrass Conservation
As an Alliance, we support increased protections and restoration activities that enhance and recover kelp and eelgrass habitat to increase climate resilience and enhance biodiversity.
Strong Marine Reserves & Marine Protected Area Program
We are working diligently to ensure Oregon’s marine reserve and protected area program stays intact and its full potential is realized.
Heceta Bank Complex Protection
We are in the early stages of considering stronger protections for the Heceta Bank Complex. This effort will include engaging with key stakeholders including Tribes, the fishing industry, scientists, and coastal communities.
Enhanced Funding for Ocean Conservation in Oregon
The Oregon Ocean Alliance is investing time to explore and help secure funding to support coastal and marine conservation from a variety of sources including federal, state and legislative opportunities.
