Your Fishing Experience Can Make a Difference
Help Shape the Future of Oregon's Recreational Fisheries
The future of recreational fishing depends on accurate information,
and the experiences of local anglers are an important part of that picture.
Oregon Coast Anglers is encouraging recreational fishermen to contribute
their fishing data to help inform future fisheries management decisions.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council uses scientific assessments to guide management of our coastal fisheries. By documenting their rockfish/bottom fish fishing experience, recreational anglers have an opportunity to contribute valuable information that can help build a more complete understanding of the fishery.
Why Your Participation Matters
The next Black Rockfish assessment is scheduled for 2029. Collecting meaningful fishing data takes time, and the information gathered now can help contribute to this assessment and future rockfish assessments.
For anglers concerned about daily bag limits and future fishing opportunities, participating in this effort is a way to become actively involved in the process.
Make Your Time on the Water Count
Oregon Coast Anglers invites recreational anglers to record their bottom fishing experiences through our data collection form.
Your participation can help support a stronger understanding of recreational fishing activity and contribute to the information available for future fisheries discussions.
Help Build the Data That Shapes Future Fishing Decisions.
