Following another successful year of hook-and-line surveys, the latest edition of the Fish On! Hook-and-Line Volunteer Newsletter is out now! This past year we caught and sampled 1,906 fish, representing 23 different species – including a variety of rockfishes, greenlings, and sculpins – at Redfish Rocks and Cape Falcon. Check out the Fish On! Newsletter to see survey highlights, photos, and more of the science and data our volunteers, fishing captains, and crews helped us collect in 2025.

In 2026, we’ll be conducting our hook-and-line surveys at Cape Perpetua and Cascade Head. Want to join us on a hook-and-line survey? Visit our Volunteer Opportunities page to learn more and sign up!

We’ll keep you up to date on research happening in 2026 at Oregon’s marine reserves in our quarterly eNewsletter as the field season gets underway.
