A draft of the Cape Falcon Marine Reserve Site Management Plan is now out for public comment. The draft plan was developed by ODFW staff with assistance and collaboration from state and federal agencies, local community members, and other interested stakeholders.

Comments on the draft plan should be emailed to odfw.marinereserves@state.or.us by February 28, 2021.

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

• Understanding the state’s mandates guiding the implementation of Oregon’s marine reserves and the ODFW Marine Reserves Program.

• Seeing the state’s and the communities’ priorities for management of the site.

• Seeing the management strategies ODFW is committed to carrying out for the site in support of scientific monitoring, keeping the public informed, engaging communities, compliance, and enforcement.

• Understanding the local communities’ interests around additional activities and research, above and beyond what is carried out by ODFW.
