Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the scenarios described on the website

this fall. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>“Scientists and managers will analyze these scenarios
and report to the community teams how well each one meets the twin goals of
maximum ecological benefits and minimal social and economic impacts,” Don
said. “This information, along with input from the public, will help each
team develop their final site recommendation.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The teams will be most interested in hearing how the areas
are currently being used and enjoyed, how fishing, crabbing and other
extractive uses may be affected by a marine reserve designation, and what
species and habitats are present at each site.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>At the direction of the 2009 Oregon State Legislature, ODFW
has been evaluating the three potential marine reserve sites. A local community
team was formed for each site to consider the biological, social and economic
characteristics of their site, and to submit a marine reserve recommendation to
ODFW this fall.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
