New fishing rules for Cape Perpetua and Cascade Head marine reserves
begin Jan. 1

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is reminding sport and
commercial anglers that harvest restrictions at two marine reserve
sites, Cape Perpetua and Cascade Head, will take effect Jan. 1, 2014.

The new rules prohibit harvest activities, such as fishing and crabbing,
within the boundaries of the marine reserves, and are similar to harvest
restrictions already in effect at the Otter Rock and Redfish Rocks
marine reserve sites.

To help commercial fisherman plot the boundaries of all the marine
reserve sites, ODFW and the Oregon State Police will be distributing
electronic thumb drives during this season's crab hold inspections. The
thumb drives include the boundary coordinates for each site, as well as
directions for installing the boundary coordinates on to a plotter.

Anglers can view and print a summary of the harvest rules, with maps and
boundaries, for the marine reserve sites on the Oregon marine reserve
website at www.oregonocean.info/marinereserves/rules.  Similar
information is also available in the recently released 2014 Oregon Sport
Fishing Regulations.

For more information about Oregon's marine reserves and the related
harvest restrictions, call ODFW's Newport Office at (541) 867-4741.
