The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon Coastal Management Program (OCMP), working together with communities and network partner agencies, developed management plans for rocky habitats that were designated in 2024. The Plans provide a framework to support activities within the newly established Marine Conservation Areas, Marine Research Areas, and Marine Gardens near Cannon Beach, Netarts, Depoe Bay, and Port Orford. The Plans can be found on the Oregon Ocean Information website.
