Teams consider final recommendations for marine reserves

 

NEWPORT, Ore. - Community teams considering marine reserves off the
Oregon Coast will be developing their final recommendations and
soliciting public comment at a series of meetings in early November.

 

There will be meetings in Florence, Newport and Astoria to consider
three possible marine reserve sites:

 

Cape Perpetua, Monday, Nov. 8 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Siuslaw Fire
Dept., 2625 Hwy. 101 N, Florence, Ore.

 

Cascade Head, Tuesday, Nov. 9 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Oregon Coast
Community College, 400 SE College Way, Newport, Ore.

 

Cape Falcon, Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Clatsop
Community College, 1651 Lexington, Ave., Astoria, Ore. 

 

While the community teams will be deciding on their final
recommendations in November, which could include a recommendation to not
create one or more of the proposed reserves, these meetings will not be
the last step in the designation of marine reserves, nor the last
opportunity for the public to have input.

 

According to Cristen Don, ODFW marine reserve staff, ODFW will consult
with the Ocean Policy Advisory Council in December prior to taking the
community team recommendations to the Oregon Legislature. The
Legislature is expected to provide further direction on marine reserves
implementation and funding before any sites are designated.

 

"While there will be additional opportunities for public comment in
future stages of this process, this will be the last chance the public
has to have input prior to the community teams' recommendations," Don
said. 

 

At the direction of the 2009 Oregon State Legislature, the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife has been evaluating the three potential
marine reserve sites. A local community team was formed for each site to
consider the biological, social and economic characteristics of their
site, and to submit a marine reserve recommendation to ODFW this fall.
