The ODFW Marine Reserves Program has released a draft of the Cape Perpetua Site Management Plan for public comment. Comments are to be submitted by email to odfw.marinereserves@state.or.us by February 28, 2020. The Draft Plan outlines the state’s marine reserve mandates and describes the management strategies that have been developed for the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve site.

Site management plans, developed for each of Oregon’s reserve sites, can be used to:

• Understand the state’s mandates guiding the implementation of Oregon’s marine reserves and the ODFW Marine Reserves Program.
• See the state’s and the communities’ priorities for management of the site.
• See the management strategies that ODFW and our state agency management partners are committed to carrying out for the site.
• Understand the local communities’ interests for activities above and beyond what is being carried out by ODFW or our state agency management partners.
