Ocean Science and Conservation

Ocean Conservation

The Coast Range Association works with a strong coalition of conservation organizations, community groups, and agencies to build coastal ocean conservation awareness while supporting Oregon’s Marine Reserve system through grassroots organizing, outreach and expanded communications capacity.

Oregon's Marine Reserve Program

Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Marine Reserve program manages five sites on the Oregon Coast. These sites include: Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua, and Red Fish Rocks.
