Updating the Rocky Habitat Management Strategy
Managing Oregon's rocky coastline is a shared responsibility. In fall 2018, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) gathered decision makers across the state to begin an amendment to the Rocky Shores Management chapter (Part Three) of the Oregon Territorial Sea Plan (TSP). The plan acts as a coordinated vision for Oregon coastal resources and guides the actions of state and federal agencies that are responsible for managing coastal and ocean resources in the public trust. The amended rocky habitat plan will incorporate the best available science and consider the needs, concerns, and values of Oregonians balanced with the state’s goals for a resilient coastal ecosystem that can provide enduring opportunities for its users.
The new Rocky Habitat Web Mapping Tool contains a wealth of coastal resource information, and will allow interested members of the public to generate and submit proposals for coordinated management changes to Oregon's marine rocky habitats. An initial proposal submission test period is set to open in mid-2020, pending OPAC approval of the revised Rocky Habitat Management Strategy. Access the tool here:
