The new tools offer folks a variety of ways to download the marine reserve coordinates onto a number of different devices: * Download coordinates directly to common hand-held and boat GPS devices. * Create a map at home with downloaded coordinates displayed on Google Earth. * Download a mobile app called FishAlerts. Developed by a private company, Great Outdoors Mobile, Inc., this free app displays rules summaries for all marine protected areas in the United States, including those in Oregon. It has been the agency's goal to provide information about the boundaries and harvest restrictions of the marine reserves sites in as many different ways as possible. In 2013 the agency issued thumb drives with mapping information to commercial fishers who could input the boundaries to their PC-based navigation plotters. Those files will also, be available on the website as well. Feel free to contact ODFW with any questions.
