Other ways to get involved

Attend a screening and panel discussion of Common Ground II
Each event will include Common Ground 2 and a panel of marine scientists, Oregon ocean mappers, coastal residents, fishermen and conservationists to share the most up-to-date information about Oregon's ocean and the state's effort to protect marine habitat and marine life in a network of marine reserves and marine protected areas. Now is a critical time to get informed—and get involved.
