Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition

For more than 50 years, Oregon Shores has served as the state's leading voice when it comes to protecting the beaches, headlands, landscapes, and ecosystems that make Oregon's coast so spectacular and loved. Our vision is a healthy and resilient Oregon coast where all people and nature thrive together. Our mission is to engage, educate, and empower people to protect and increase the resilience of the coast's ecosystems, landscapes, and communities.

Oregon Shores' work spans the entire coast, from the Washington border to the California border. Our work focuses on education and engagement, which inspires people to take action for a more protected Oregon coastline. Our education and engagement programs include our CoastWatch and CoastWatch in the Schools mile adoption and community science coastal stewardship efforts; our conservation priorities include estuaries, nearshore ocean, shoreline management and land use, and climate resilience.
