Coast Range Association & Oregon Ocean Alliance
CRA Signs onto the Oregon Ocean Alliance
Our Mission
The Alliance is a group of eight founding member organizations who work collectively to advance the protections of Oregon’s ocean and coastal ecosystems. Our geographical scope includes federal and state ocean waters, and coastal habitats such as estuaries and beaches.
The Ocean & Climate
Because of Climate Change, today the Oregon Coast is experiencing dramatic changes to our nearshore ocean environments and coast. These changes include rising sea level, hypoxic nearshore ocean waters, seasonal temperature changes, more acidic ocean waters, and changes in forest cover. We observe these changes everyday and prepare for the acceleration of these impacts on our communities, fisheries, wildlife, and coastal environments.
