[ODFWMarineReserves] Marine Reserves - Upcoming Workshops and Development of Management Plans

[Cristen Don]

The ODFW marine reserves program needs your help, as well as input from
other community members to develop sections of the Cascade Head and Cape
Perpetua site management plans. One of the ways we'll be gathering input
is through a series of workshops, starting in December through the
spring of 2014.

 

The site management plans will outline the best ways for ODFW to: 

*        Share our scientific monitoring results and activities

*        Provide general information about Oregon's marine reserves 

*        Improve compliance through rules education

*        Provide opportunities for people to get involved 

 

Also, the site management plans will outline the community's interests
and priorities for activities above and beyond those of ODFW.

 

We need community input in each of these areas to make the plans
successful. Each of our workshops will focus on one of these sections of
the management plan. If you are unable to attend the workshops, there
will be other opportunities for input including conversations between
stakeholders and ODFW staff and a public review and comment period
before the plans are completed. 

 

Our first workshops will specifically focus on how to communicate ODFW's
ecological monitoring activities and results. We will be looking to
answer the question:  What are the best ways to share information with
the community? All workshops are open to everyone, so please spread the
word and join us if you can. Light refreshments will be provided. Dates
and locations are:

 

Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve
Wednesday December 4th from 6-8 pm. Siuslaw Library at 1460 9th St.,
Florence, OR 97439

 

Cascade Head Marine Reserve
Monday December 9th from 6-8 pm. Lincoln City Community Center at 2150
NE Oar Place, Lincoln City, OR 97367

 

These two workshops will be on the same topic, but for each reserve
separately. As additional workshops are scheduled we will notify folks
via this marine reserves email listserv as well as by posting
announcements on the Oregon Marine Reserves website:
