West Coast DMA ProjectWest Coast Sea Grant Regional Social Science Research
Objectives:• Evaluate the patterns, processes, and impacts
associated with seafood DMAs• Integrate this knowledge into practical tools for use by
west coast communities and others in DMAs decision making
• Pilot communities - Santa Barbara, CA & Coos Bay, OR
Taking Stock of Oregon’s Nearshore Fisheries: Development of Simple Assessment Tools for
Better Management
PI: Selina HeppellOregon State University
Fisheries and Wildlife
Stock assessment for data-poor species
Relevance:• OR nearshore fisheries not represented by federal catch limits• ODFW tracks species through fish catch – fish tickets, logbooks, and landings
Big Idea: • Enhance management and conservation of nearshore fish• Reduce the risk of overfishing or local depletion
Research Objectives:• Establish methods most appropriate for local stock
assessment• Determine whether changes to local monitoring are
