Other ways to get involved

Attend a screening and panel discussion of Common Ground III
Each event will include a screening of Common Ground III followed by a Q & A session with the audience and a panel made up of fishermen, scientists, policy makers, conservationists, ocean resource managers, and local decision makers. We will 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.
