Oregon's Changing Coastal Fishing Communities

This publication brings together research and other sources of information that explore the problems of defining, identifying, and sustaining Oregon's fishing communities. The editor has included profiles of those communities-- Brookings; Gold Beach; Port Orford: Bandon; Charleston, Coos Bay, and North Bend; Winchester Bay; Florence; Newport; Depoe Bay; Pacific City; Garibaldi/Tillamook Bay; and the lower Columbia River. Longtime observers of the fishing industry suggest actions that researchers and managers can take to help fishing families and businesses make decisions about the future.
