Our mission is the protection and preservation of rocky shore intertidal life, nesting and migrating sea birds, and marine mammals that inhabit Devil’s Punch Bowl State Natural Area, Otter Rock Marine Gardens, Otter Rock Marine Reserve, and the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
Come connect with us and other coastal organizations at the Oregon Sea Grant State of the Coast conference in Seaside, Oregon from November 22 – 23, 2024.
At just 1.2 square miles, Otter Rock Marine Reserve is the smallest of five designated sites along the Oregon Coast where no fishing, no wildlife removal, and no ocean development are allowed.
This mini yet mighty marine reserve provides a unique and nutrient-rich habitat in which an amazing mosaic of wildlife thrives.
Take a tour with us and hear how Otter Rock Marine Reserve contributes a wealth of value to scientific research, the economy, and conservation efforts.
