I am a coastal resident--and have been for over 30 years. We know, from years of experience with marine reserves around the world, that marine reserves are an effective tool in the ocean health tool box. We also know that Oregon's ocean isn't as healthy as we want it to be. It's only common sense that we should establish these reserves. It's been good for the economy in other places and good for the fishing industry. It is certainly worth a try here in Oregon.
